I will admit this car does not appeal to everyone. I believe beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I know I have great taste, just saying

the only reason why the zdx havent caught on is basically the price. i believe acura has over price zdx it should have never cost more than the mdx, i think that kinda steer alot of folks into looking somewhere else. the zdx design is not a dud imo its the best looking suv coupe out there and it will still look good 10 yrs from now.

Just curious, but have you ever owned a domestic car before?

IMHO, EACH car falls into one of these 3 category (+ some examples):
1. Looks WORSE in reality (than in pictures) - MOST American cars, Maserati GranTurismo, BMW 5 (especially Gran Turismo Hatchback), 'Angry Fish Eye' Infiniti FX,

2. Looks BETTER in reality - Acura NSX, 911s and Panamera, New Hyundai Sonata, Audi A5 and R8

3. As it is in pictures (whether good or bad looking) - Aston Martins (Good), Aventador (Good), Aztec (Bad), IS Coupe (Bad)

Etc, etc.

IMHO, ZDX (again, beauty in the eye of the beholder thingy...) falls under #2.
I had to see the real thing in front of my eyes before I pulled the trigger.
Otherwise, by just looking at its site/pictures/images, I will never own it.

Cheers from TX Heat!!

it just might be that down where you are at most folks dont need an all wheel drive vehicle cause there is really no need for it, unlike us folks up north.

I was just curious after seeing your signature....I too, have never owned a domestic car. Personally I think today's model is much better then yesterday's, and maybe my next car might be GM or Ford, maybe.

their cars might look better now but the interiors are still cheap and bland for example the new camaro i liked the exterior design but then when you look inside at the dash with the square guages and the cheap mid display it doesnt do the car justice.

I agree with ZZZZZDX-White. I was one of the folks who thought 'hmmm...interesting' when I saw it in the magazine. Then I saw it in person and drove it. I immediately fell in love. Same feeling about the panamera, which is a bit pricy for me at the moment.

Yeah, both the Panamera and the ZDX have grown on me. I'm trying to get my $ in line for the latter, although my Porsche-junkie friends would love me to have the former.

I have had many vehicles over the years, probably around 50. Some of them customized and some of them hot rodded as they said way back when. I have had very few cars that have had as many strangers come up and compliment the looks as the ZDX and when they look inside like it even more.

No doubt the looks and size inside are polarizing but my wife and I like it and it works for us so it doesn't really matter to me what others think.

Still Lovin it!

I first "discovered" the ZDX in Motor Trend's "2010 Sport/Utility of the year" issue, http://www.motortrend.com/oftheyear/...s/viewall.html .
Ever since reading that article, the ZDX never left my mind and eventually led to the purchase of my own in the summer of last year. It took alot of getting used to it's overall size and wide footprint. But I've gotten relatively used to it now. Still learning the electronics. Still looking for the best "gear carrying" solution limited by the glass roof. Sporadic "low battery" warnings irk me. Other than that, I LOVE MY ZDX!!
