I've also test drived the "tech" package and noticed that the suspension isn't as comfortable comparing to the "comfort" setting on this Sport/Entertainment model. Gas milage isn't that bad unless you flooring it out of every turn. The 2009 Acura MDX is Acura’s midsize luxury crossover SUV with seating for seven occupants. Acura was one of the first import luxury brands to offer a sport utility in 1996, with the SLX, which was a rebadged Isuzu Trooper. 
The MDX concept vehicle was unveiled at the 2000 North American International Auto Show and the production version debuted a few months later at the 2000 New York Auto Show. For 2007 the MDX was redesigned with a more athletic appearance, a longer and wider body, a longer wheelbase and a lower ride height. Acura’s flagship SUV was tuned on the world famous Nurburgring racetrack in Germany and is the sixth Acura project to be designed and engineered in the U.S.The 2009 MDX is a 4-door, 
7-passenger luxury sport-utility, available in 5 trims, ranging from the Base to the Sport Package and Entertainment Package. Upon introduction, both trims are equipped with a standard 3.7-liter, V6, 300-horsepower engine that achieves 15-mpg in the city and 20-mpg on the highway. A 5-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard. The 2009 Acura MDX adds the power tailgate as part of the Technology Package and the Sport Package. Also for 2009, the navigation system and real-time traffic system are update and two new exterior colors are added: Bali Blue and Mocha Metallic
