Stylish But Comfortable Results: Acura describes the shape as an “urban sports utility vehicle.” I think by this they mean something that handles like a sedan, but showcases the crossover trend with a higher eye-point or driving position.

Hi Mr. Davis,
I have a 2001 Acura MDX with 110K. Everything is fine with the vehicle, but it rides somewhat rougher than I think it should. Small bumps on relatively smooth roads don’t cause any problem, but when the road is rough, the ride becomes very rough. Of course this is [...]

This has always been the case for the Japanese automaker whose top executives care as much about slide rulers as they do stick shifts.
