I voted the MDX with the MKT close behind it.

 

[soccom2005]

MDX for me... those other crossovers are great but really not my style...

 

[Kymerik]

MKT with the MDX close behind...

The MKT needs the ECOboost standard

I'm going Buick. Not because it's american, most of the parts aren't american.
But because from what I've seen and heard from the people that dive them really like them. I hate the new Acura look.

I voted Enclave. It's larger than the MDX (seats seven, more cargo room), gets better gas mileage than the MDX, and everyone I know that has one loves it.

The MKT and R-class are ugly as hell. I'd take a decked out Ford Flex over the MKT. (But only if they come out with a Ford Funkmaster Flex Flex Fuel Flex.)

that's a little surprising. the mdx is a nice car. I really enjoyed driving my dad's a few times.
