There is only one model available in Canada now and that is Tech pckge, no more Base. Price has also been reduced on the 2011 to $56,885.00 including frt and pdi.

 

I am wondering if they are still offering cash incentive like last year. I was considering the ZDX before summer but I couldn't get what I want for my trader-in.

Also, interestingly, all the dealers seem to be low on ZDX stock. They were working very hard to get rid of those 2010 models last year. I was at a point offered 7000 off the MSRP on the Tech pack. The 2012 models are arriving in a couple of months now I really hope Acura will do something to move those ZDX and I can re-consider it again since the family is asking me to upgrade the size of the vehicle.

 

The ZDX is really not a vehicle for a growing family. Any discounts on the ZDX offered today will affect the resell and trade-in value down the road. There is a possibility this will put the resell value of the ZDX below the MDX in the future for a vehicle with a higher base price.

If your family will need a larger vehicle in the future, you might be in the same boat being up-side-down trying to trade in the ZDX later. The TSX wagon, RDX or MDX would be a better long term solution for a growing family compared to the ZDX.

The ZDX is worth every penny Acura is asking for it; but, the market has spoken and reset the value to its current level. Unless the market/economy changes or Acura makes some major upgrades to the ZDX; it does not look good for the ZDX when Acura offer that much off MSRP. The real worth in the ZDX is keeping it for +100,000 miles and saving $$$ with one of the best CUV luxury values on the road.

 

I agree with all of your points though not too sure about the value down the road though. I think part of the reason for the drop in price is due to the value of the Cdn dollar against the American dollar up here. We quite often have less in the model choices up here due to a much smaller market and the non availability of the TSX wagons is an example as well an advance pckge on the ZDX. I notice the residual value on a lease actually about $1000.00 more on 2011 vs the 2010 ZDX. Has there been a similar price drop on the ZDX in the USA?

No matter what the reasons I am not complaining as I got our 2010 with almost $16,000 MSRP off plus snow tires, rear mudguards and 5/100,000 Acura extended warranty.
