I would definately say the MDX will outperform the SRX any day of the week and in any weather condition. If you would like you can go to consumer reports, motortrend, edmunds and on on on and they will come up with the same answers and it has a much higher safety rating. The MDX cannot be touched by anything at this time but the reason people wont buy it is because they dont get the drastic incentives (none) like other cars. This makes it a lot more expensive but it is worth every penny. The people who do not like the MDX are those who dont like the feel of their car when they drive it because they are used to the crooked L or the cadi.The MDX is a drivers car and you will definately get more for your money.
