    Really??? You must not have spent any time in FSI in Manhattan or in Silicon Valley.

    I would exempt what some call "South Asian" as those folks who came in the 60s were typically quite skilled and lived in more affluent areas - like Cerritos.

    I just searched on Edmunds.com for used 2010 MDXs within 200 miles of my Bay area zipcode. There is 1 - 2010 and 3 - 2011 (identical vehicle). Here is the link for the 2010, advertised ~$5K more than I paid for a new 2010 with similar mileage to what I have. Used 2010 Acura MDX Base Price...

    I love how Acura continues to fly under the radar - must be why I got such a great deal. As for resale I continuously see used 2010 MDXs advertised for more than I paid new. I wonder if Acura has been the beneficiary of the smart money that used to buy Toyota but was turned away with the...

    The backseat legroom is the biggest surprise. The seatbacks are significantly reclined to help achieve this effect.

    Dude - I have the same 2 cars. MDX is 2010, TSX is 2012. Ridiculous values.

    I just picked up a new Acura TSX for ~$27K. After significant research I determined there is no better value in a sedan. I see used ones going for more than I paid, similar to our MDX. Resale value and reliability are off the charts for Acura. I am donating my early 90s Japanese luxury sedan...
