Ah. For the US? Acura sounds like the better bet... though I'm unfamiliar with the MDX platform.

You may want to check Consumer Reports for word on the reliability of the two vehicles... while CR isn't the be-all and end-all of reliability that they tout themselves to be (their survey forms are quite flawed), a low score in engine-drivetrain for older models of these vehicles will point out whether you might have expensive problems in the future.

And test-drive. What's more important than which car is better on paper is which car is better for you... and only a test-drive can tell you that.
