The all-new 2007 Acura MDX is a Canadian-built, second-generation luxury sport utility vehicle (SUV). The newly designed model advances the automobile's styling direction, featuring a large array of safety features in addition to offering race-inspired handling, advanced engineering and integrated driver technology. Its dramatic styling utilizes large surface areas, sweeping curves and decisive angles. Longer, wider and lower than the original MDX, the new dimensions create a more athletic appearance. The original Acura MDX, Acura's flagship SUV, was produced at the Honda of Canada Mfg. facility in Ontario from 2001 to 2006 model years.

Shadow, the 100-pound Bouvier, liked the Acura MDX, and he wasn’t alone. His owner is someone with a pronounced anti-SUV bias, and the MDX went a long way toward dispelling that prejudice. Called a crossover by some, the MDX behaves more like a car than most—if not all—other examples of this genre, and has the best navigation system offered by any manufacturer.
