| Acura RL The 2008 RL is a 4-door, 5-passenger luxury sedan, available in 3 trims, ranging from the Sedan to the CMBS/PAX Package. Upon introduction, both trims are equipped with a standard 3.5-liter, V6, 290-horsepower engine that achieves 16-mpg in the city and 24-mpg on the highway. A 5-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard. Test Drive: 2007 Acura MDX - Family-Friendly Luxury Vehicle Tested: 2007 Acura MDX 4dr SUV AWD w/Sport, Entertainment Package (3.7L 6cyl 5A) Pros: Plush interior, comfortable seats, decent handling for an SUV. Cons: Tight third-row seat, no hybrid or V8 version available. Grunge rock, Bill Clinton and Where's Waldo books. Have we slipped into a time warp or do these things actually have something in common? We'll give you a hint: It's the second one — all have their roots firmly planted in the 1990s, the decade that also produced the crossover vehicle. Later, the luxury crossover surfaced; and today, crossovers of all varieties are giving vehicles like the much-maligned minivan, ancient family wagon and thirsty SUV a run for their money. Luxury crossover vehicles like the 2007 Acura MDX and Lexus RX continue to be popular, and frequently outsell their sedan stablemates. But the Acura MDX is a standout, and anyone shopping for a luxury crossover should add it to their short list. Years of building luxury/sport sedans have taught Acura well, as the current, totally redesigned MDX acts much like a sedan in all the right ways; it's likely the best-handling crossover on the market. It's also suitably luxurious, considering its $40,000 base price, although we tested a notably more expensive version that includes features like a driver-selectable suspension and a premium sound system. The Panasonic/ELS stereo is easily one of the best-sounding in-car audio systems at any price. Slightly aggressive, solid good looks only enhance the package. MARIUS VATAVU VATAVU MARIUS | ||
