Reviews SummaryLast year’s MDX, though 7 years old, was a terrific crossover SUV: big, bold and stylish, whether you liked its looks or not. Now, a redesigned 2014 Acura MDX is on sale, seemingly sanitized for everyone’s protection. Don’t assume, however, that the new MDX is just a stretched 7-passenger version of the smaller Acura RDX and equipped with fancy LED headlights. It might not look as exciting as the old MDX, but it’s a better SUV in almost every respect. | |
Reviews SummaryThere’s plenty to like about a 2014 Dodge Journey, from its low pricetag and practical interior to its powerful V6 engine and good crash-test ratings. Perhaps more than anything else, the available Uconnect 8.4 touchscreen infotainment system makes the Journey especially appealing. But there’s no denying that for each of the Journey’s positive attributes there’s a negative, which means it's time for Dodge to execute a full redesign of this crossover SUV. | |
