Yeah - Acura will need to advertise more if they want SUV of the year though. See all those Q50 adds while looking at the pictures...there's your front runner.

MT already gave the SUV of the Year to the Jeep Wrangler. The QX50 wasn't even in the final group of contenders.

And grossly overpriced crap at that. I had a '14 SRX and a comparably equipped XT5 had an MSRP of a bit over $8K more for a, IMO, lesser vehicle.

Unless your foot is on the floor, the Q5 is a hot mess.

I am not even comparing QX50 with RDX anymore. QX50 is definitely luxurious and got an awesome dashboard but the dual/outdated screens and CVT transmissions make the vehicle out of the competition for me. I will never pay $50K for a CVT. I will go get myself a nice Nissan Rogue and save over 10-15K.
