2014 MDX is here!
#521
Would you mind taking a pic of your MDX from a 90 degree angle perfectly to the side so I can better see where the body side moldings line up under the doors? I'd really appreciate it.

It looks like the start of a good campaign.

White/Eucalyptus color was hard to find. I was able to get $500 discount for AWD/Advance. But, interior color was parchment. Except one, all dealerships had only parchment colors. I didn't strongly ask free accessories, but unfortunately they were also reluctant to give major free accessories. Maybe later, I may ask a deep discount for something.
My down payment was majority. Only small amount was financed. So, the APR wasn't that important. APR was good (given my short credit history in US).
Overall, right now, it was hard to find a good deal in my area. I already saw an MDX 2014 on the road Unless urgent, one should wait.

Accessories and accessory installation is now available! Looks like installing remote start is really simple, just need to bring it to the dealer for them to program the FOB afterwards. LED fog lights looks a little bit more involved.

Thanks for the photos printf. I'm trying to find a local dealer that has that interior to actually see. I like it though.
Question for everyone who's purchased at MSRP. Did MSRP include the destination charge? My dealer's initial offer excludes this but I'd like to know if other dealers charge this in addition to MSRP. Thanks.

. So far only disapointment is how acura disabled almoat all settings when u drive. U have to use voice commands. I swear it took me 15 minutes to use voice commands to program navi on road trip. Wife was beggin me to pull over so we could type it in. Any other 14' owners experience same?? Had vents blowing away from mics and windows closed. Not too happy about that. Took me 10 mins for it to realize i was sayin "e" and not b or c or d or Delete.... WAsnt too happy. Ride was real quiet though. Rides great.

Some pictures for Eucalyptus interior color. My wife doesn't like the parchment color as she claims it will be early weathered and dyed. This color at this time was hard to find. Pictures are from iPhone 5. Be aware of the white balance of the camera and your monitor color calibration as well!
I have to admit it reminds me of Venza and a bigger RDX. But, I love the looks. It's more sleek and has more curves.
The cargo space over the 3rd row seats are pretty small. It's not a van.
A perfect combination: An electric car + an SUV.

As the vehicle learns your voice a bit, and you learn how to and how not to say certain things, it becomes easier. Setting destinations and full addresses by voice, for example, are much faster by voice than typing.

Hi all...long time Acura (s) owner.... Just traded my 07' TLS for the 2014 SH-AWD MDX Tech+Ent Blk/Blk. Got $1,250 off MSRP and 14K for my trade (07' TLS) with 115K! I think I did pretty well. BTW I am really fuming mad that I have to spend another $1,700 for Running boards, backup sensors and Body Protective Side Molding + Labor Really! There are tons of Accessories but Acura Nickles and Dimes you to death on this Vehicle! You would think a SH-AWD Tech+Ent at least the backup sensors would be included!!! So far loving it. Verdict is out on gas mileage but so far getting 21MPG AVG. Love the Jewel Eye Headlights! Man are they bright!!! Interior wise it's long and narrow in my opinion. Third row seating is nice but hardly any room left for luggage! Couldn't justify the price of the Advance at $57,700 vs mine at $51,600. $6,100 difference + any accessories . I drove the Advance and it seemed to me that the vented/cooled seats were very "weak!" Also ..big deal you get a wide screen DVD screen vs the standard..meh..just couldn't justify the cost. My

I just picked my AWD-Advance White/Eucalyptus! Happy with the car, but sad for what I ended up paying (MSRP sigh..) MDX 2014 sells well. One MDX Tech pack was being sold when I was writing the application. This dealership sold 6 MDXes so far.
Here are some pictures in front of my
The eucalyptus color is more gray; very subtle green color. We prefer a darker color as we have young children.
Keep it mind. This MDX can't do the magic of JX: Folding 2nd seat and accessing 3rd row with a carseat. MDX can't
AAC w/ slow flow does work very well in a 35mpg road. Will leave for 100 mile trip right now. Will report real-world mpg.

Thanks for the interior pics! That was my first choice combo but based on some other pics I was getting worried the eucalyptus wasn't as it appeared on the Acura site (too light/grey). I'm checking out the combo Thur (someone else's purchase but still at the dealer).

What other accessories are you getting? I'll be getting the body side moldings, front and rear bumper trims, rear bumper protector, and splash guards. I'm still undecided with the running boards as the new MDX is lower than the previous one.
#556
I got body side molding, bumper protector, bumper trims front and rear, sport running boards , illuminated sill plates, cargo cover, cargo net, and will get fog light as soon it's available . I got everything from acura of Peoria 866-347-4510, they can give you 25% off and free shipping ! If you didn't buy the acessories yet call them to order, they are very good.

My dealer said july for the fogs. Tonite was first time had car out at night. Lo beams nice. High beams like lasers. I want fogs but more for asthetics, def not needed. Just drove 180 miles w thule on roof 4 people and full trunk. Got 25 mpg on mostly highway. Didnt think that was too bad considering the crap my wife packed.

Yes ! You will have the warranty, no problem. You can buy from any dealer and have another one to install it.
