Default Does the 2007 Acura MDX have a "snow mode" setting for its transmission like the Lexus RX 350 does?
Living in Colorado, this is a pretty handy feature for an SUV to improve snow traction. I hope the MDX has this snow mode button, because I really like the car, but have been able to find nothing in searching the internet about it.

Nope. It automatically engages when it detects slip, a better system than the RX350's since it is automatic. The Acura's SHAWD is also generations ahead of the crude and basic system in the Lexus.

As another person pointed out I think that the SHAWD is vastly superior to the out dated 'snow mode' concept.
