He said he had an MDX that's how it came about if not it wouldn't even have caught my attention

Let's forget about it and move forward...

Nah, it's all good. He wanted comprehensive so there it is. That's why I hate car comparisons. Too much energy when there are tons on videos online plus a lot of the stuff on paper means nothing when you start to drive the car. Also, people get way too personal. That's why you hardly see me on the vehicle specific threads. Na life and death matter lol

FYI, this is what I was talking about. The ONLY thing that keeps it from being completely autonomous is it doesn't change lanes. When I get a nice curve I'll round it at 90mph on self driving so you see.

Sigh, what you're excitedly showing off on your "loaded" MDX is available on a 2013 ML550 but cannot be gotten on an MDX of equivalent year!!
Lol , you're constantly contradicting yourself.

And for the umpteenth time , lane keeping assist and collison mitigation are not the same as real autonomous driving , . . .those are safety features.
A Driverless / autonomous car "navigates" from point A to B with little human input

About the screen, Lol seriously? . . . this LCD screen is what you're hyping ? what exactly are you going to enjoy on that? very impractical aspect ratio, it's 2020! LCDs are mundane. even the screen on the ML550 is barely tolerable IMO,
you can enjoy HD interface with "capacitive" (not resistive as is on the MDX) touch for less than $1000.

This is a Kenwood DDX9905s .
I have it in a 2008 MDX and its better value than any stock MDX head unit.
A 21inch screen Is not a "real world gain"

radautoworks:



Now that I have more time on my hands I'll address fully why I said the Acura is a better car.

About performance -
So let me understand this. . . . An ML550 is heavier than an MDX, but still manges to have way better 0-60 and quarter mile times. Yet in your opinion, the 402hp and 607Nm from a twin turbo V8 are just figures on paper and do not translate to real world gain. ( Lol na wa )

Better Safety Ratings ?
Better Safety is not just about saying My car has better safety features . . . . there are standardized safety tests, there are figures. there are " RATINGS" . . . .
IIHS tests evaluate crashworthiness and crash avoidance/mitigation, and the 2013 ML has higher ratings

Styling
I see you're posting the interior and exterior of your car, are you attempting to "suggest" that interior looks better or is more comfortable than a 2013-15 ML550 ??.
Now I'm sure your haven't owned an ML550.

Most of what you typed which honestly I couldn't completely read is centred around I, Me and My . . . they're personal opinion.
For someone who supposedly knows cars you give very little facts


The Merc offers heated seats, heated steering, KeylessGO ( push to start) , adjustable ride height, so so many things I don't even care to mention.

So Again, . . .what " REAL WORLD " features does an MDX have that an ML550 of equivalent year lacks,
As you said earlier, you "lose features" If you move from an MDX to an ML550.

I already forgot this conversation even happened

Yet in your opinion, the 402hp and 607Nm from a twin turbo V8 are just figures on paper and do not translate to real world gain. ( Lol na wa ) YOU ASKED IF YOU CAN ACTUALLY USE THEM AND THE ANSWER WAS NO. LIKE PREVIOUS WRITTEN, I AM ABLE TO DO WAY MORE IN MY CURRENT ACURA THAN I WAS ABLE TO IN THE MERCEDES. THE FACT THAT NO ONE SEEMS TO HAVE ONE SHOULD TELL YOU SOMETHING IF YOU'RE OBSERVANT. I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO EVEN BOTHERED TO ANSWER YOU.

Now I'm sure your haven't owned an ML550. AGAIN, STOP SELECTIVELY READING. THAT'S HOW YOU FAIL IN SCHOOL AND LIFE. I SAID I prefer it as I find the Mercedes boring now and too much woodgrain ALSO, HAVING SAT IN BOTH MANY TIMES, I CAN TELL YOU (AND I HAVE ONCE ALREADY) THAT THE MDX SEAT IS MORE COMFORTABLE. WHILE YOU ARE DOUBTING IF I'VE EVER OWNED ONE I'M LAUGHING AS YOU ARE JUST TRYING TO GET YOUR FIRST AND ACTING LIKE IT'S THE KING OF ALL ACHIEVEMENTS. HOW ABOUT THIS.. GO TEST DRIVE BOTH THEN YOU WON'T NEED TO COME ASK PEOPLE LIKE ME OUR OPINIONS.

Most of what you typed which honestly I couldn't completely read is centred around I, Me and My . . . they're personal opinion.
For someone who supposedly knows cars you give very little facts WHOSE OPINION AM I SUPPOSED TO GIVE YOU ROFL?? AS FAR AS NOT KNOWING ABOUT CARS, I LAUGH IN ESPERANTO BECAUSE I'VE BEEN IN THE WRONG BUSINESS FOR ABOUT TWELVE YEARS THEN


The Merc offers heated seats, heated steering, KeylessGO ( push to start) , adjustable ride height, so so many things I don't even care to mention.
MR. SELECTIVE READER, PRETTY SURE I MENTIONED ALL THOSE AND THAT THEY WERE OPTIONAL AND COST WAY MORE ON THE MERCEDES


So Again, . . .what " REAL WORLD " features does an MDX have that an ML550 of equivalent year lacks,
As you said earlier, you "lose features" If you move from an MDX to an ML550. IF YOU ARE STILL ASKING THIS, GO READ AGAIN. THIS TIME FOR COMPREHENSION


I already forgot this conversation even happened THAT CAN'T BE RIGHT BECAUSE YOU'RE HAVING IT RIGHT NOW

LASTLY, I'M INCREDIBLY CONFUSED HOW SOMEONE WHO HAS NOT OWNED OR DRIVEN BOTH IS SO CAVALIER IN HIS RESPONSES

All the above being said, once you've had a few, it being a "Mercedes" stops shacking you. Ask people like Eddee and HeavenlyBang, they know

Stop dropping names. Not especially those driving cars from a company in distress....

Like I said earlier YOU CANNOT COME TO THE BENZ THREAD TO BADMOUTH THE BRAND... IT IS VERY UNCHARITABLE COMING FROM A SUPPOSED CAR MAINTENANCE PERSON... LEARN SOME DECORUM.

Lol, Talk about failing exams , and reading without comprehension

The only place the Mercedes ekes it out because it has more horses and torque out of the gate HOWEVER, it is heavier and it doesn't really translate to gain in the real world .

That was your comment on performance which I refuted. It Had nothing to do with the question about enjoying all 400 hp. Stop juxtaposing statements



AGAIN, IF THERE ARE RATINGS YOU KNOW, WHY DO YOU NEED SOMEONE TO GIVE THEM TO YOU AND WHY DID YOU ASK AT ALL?

Lol but I never asked, you make up your own question as usual. I stated a fact that the Merc is rated higher in that dept, and you gave another My Car response . . . .as usual

12 years in the business and you cannot do a "FACT" based comparison , or articulate autonomous driving ?

Owning a barbershop doesn't make you a barber, you can own one for 50 years and not know how to hold a clipper. Calm down with the expertise talk.

She doesn't need to throw acquisitions around like that... unless she's prepared for the scrutiny. This is a Mercedes Benz thread! Not where you talk down on the brand.... Anyways it's a new week... enjoy your day.

Lol @ first paragraph. Me sef weak
the same way she's driven all the models and classes, she knows those who belong to the Benz Club.

Acura makes some of the best value for money cars, hands down. And the MDX is one of her best models. Infact I was looking at moving to a 2016 MDX, before an encounter steered me towards the 550. I did some research and found it to better suit what I needed.

To blindly argue that you "lose features" when you move from an MDX to a 550 That's just plain ridiculous.
