Acura MDX Facelift Spied

And thank god it's not being sold in my country as well. The Lexus behemoths are bad enough.

Many critics and car buffs tend to believe that automobile designs (like that of Audi) are of European origin. This is not the case, as Audi designers (like Acura) comprise of many ethnic backgrounds.

In addition, the fact that Acura vehicle designs resemble Saturn vehicles may not be a coincidence. Acura did not "copy" Saturn (they don't need to) - The plenum grille design is something that has carried over from Japanese Domestic Models of the past like that of the Stream. These vehicles are rarely known to Europeans and Americans but are best-sellers in the Asia market.

Lastly, to categorize American's perception of good handling as being different from "the rest of the world" would be rather short-sighted. American Cars are indeed large, but so are the roads (wide, 4-5 lane highways), and not to forget, how big the country itself is(in both area and population density, and the size of their bellies!). The United States is also the most strict when it comes to safety requirements as compared to Europe and Asia, despite not having super-high-speed freeways like that of the Autobahn. In any case, the United States, compromising of perhaps the most diverse mix of ethnic backgrounds (particularly in Los Angeles)is the largest market to supply. What matters most to Americans is not whether who copied who, but moreover, the availability of choice. Where would Honda, Lexus, BMW, Mercedes, VW be if Americans only bought the domestic makes?
