    Do you pass out from boredom when driving it or do they have an app for that? How's handling compared to the competition?

    Didn't they also move to direct injection with the 3.5L? I believe the previous 3.7L did not utilize direct injection hence the low power drop when down sizing the engine.

    Interesting. I guess the Explorer pretty famously also downsized it's engines but also introduced ecoboost so its not exactly comparable. In the other direction, Mazda introduced the CX-9 in 2007 with a 3.5L V6 but it wasn't until the 2008 replaced that engine with a 3.7L that the car started bringing home awards. This probably wasn't a bad move by Honda/Acura; however, where all the reviews of the previous MDX stressed it's driving performance, that type of praise is pretty absent from the current model.

    @legacygt:? From Car and Driver's first drive review, the subtitle was "From the producers of the NSX, the most athletic of three-row SUVs. So far."
