Beat up a MDX in my X5 tonight...
The driver looked like a porter from an Acura dealer as the MDX had no tags on it, the driver had a "mechanic" Acura shirt. Man, that kid was dogging this MDX. We went at it off the line and beat him by what I thought was 2 or 3 cars/trucks to about 50mph on a 45 zone and I stopped around right under 55, then he sped past me. Oh, I guess he really won.
Don't you have the 4.4i?

Good to see you again Ming!
Yes I have the 4.4 with Sports Package.
This really wasn't a race post, but more on how those damn porters dog cars that aren't theirs.
MDX is a very nice SUV IMO and it would have been my 3rd choice...next to X5 4.4 , Range Rover 4.6. The MDX is roomy as a school bus, but the drive felt too "minivan" like for my wife and didn't feel safe in it in terms of stability of body roll. MDX needs Xenons and thicker rubbers and it would make it more of a winner.

BTW, the F360 is more than 2 seconds faster to 60 than the CLS :P

Perhaps one day you will run into something like this:

There are many "sleeper" trucks out there, not your average mexican drop and straight pipe types...
Damn... These cars are fast!

I'd get a 4.4 X5 before an ML 55 for the record.
Oh and the 4.6 X5 IMP is better than the ML 55. BMW did not BADGE the 4.6X an M model because they said yes it was a great truck but it was still a truck and not true to M heritage. That is beautiful! They said it needs a manual to even be CONSIDRED an M car.
Tell Benz that.....
