An excellent article. Thanks for the link!

I actually owned a 2007 MDX for all of about 8 weeks - and the technology within it, notably the navigation system, is markedly below par when compared to the BMW.

The "controller" actually controls very little, and there are remarkably few changeable options. Plus the Acura/Honda navigation system is sufficiently dumb that it can't plot a "fastest" route (only shortest or most freeways), and is incapable of taking into account the traffic information that is shown on the screen. Few of the displays and systems are integrated - for example, even though the navigation system can download the phonebook from your phone, an incoming call (displayed on the in-dash MID screen) does not lookup the name from the phonebook.
