I haven't driven the new MDX to speak from personal experience, but the critics disagree with this statement. If I remember the last Motortrend comparo with these two in it, they said the CX-9 had almost as good of handling with a lot more comfortable ride. They said the ride was to firm in the...

First off, I didn't say you made the wrong choice of tire. Tire choice depends on personal priority's and the range of road conditons where you drive your car. The Pilot Alpins aren't a bad tire, they just aren't one of the new "ice" gripping tires. They aren't even Michelins top rated ice...

I've been using snow tires on my cars for 20+ years. In case you didn't notice I live in western Canada. The Alpin was recommended on the Porsche because of the higher speed rating and the stiffer side wall. The Blizzak had FAR superior ice gripping capabilities. Where I'm from people don't take...

The 2001 Alpin was far from the best ice tire available in 2001. It was just an average snow tire compared to the Blizzak and Nokian Rsi. Michelin has since added the X-ice2 to their line-up which is an excellent tire. The actual ice gripping high tech tires make a huge difference. No, they...

There is great value in the GT-E pkg if it is features that are attractive to you. The BOSE sound system is a 10 speaker system with about 3 times the power output of the regular system. You also get the Satellite radio with this pkg as well, which is $550 installed on the lower models. I find...

I personally don't see the point of this, but I totally respect someone enjoying themselves modding thier vehicle. So Enjoy!!!

Spoken like someone who hasn't tried any of the high tech snow tires that have come out in the last 10 years. Your opinion is really irrellevant, because it isn't based on any facts or experience.

There is a ton of Hyundai rental cars around these parts, so I'm sure that plays a part.

Don't like the way it looks at all, performance is ok, cheaper because it is cheap. Interior and fit-n-finish is a step down from its competitiors.

These figures are a little misleading. In Canada their sales are way up, but its because of heavy factory rebates combined with 0% financing. So yes, their sales are up, but they aren't making any money. They are giving the cars away, which is how the big 3 got into financial trouble. Big sales...

Actually there are several dedicated winter tires on the market now that do an excellent job on ice.

I was expecting it to be the same size, I thought it looked like it might be a couple of inches bigger, but nothing life changing.

I actually thought it looked like more than 10L bigger the first time I looked.

Rear legroom is identical to 2009 model and the trunk is 10 Litres bigger than 2009 model.
