Exterior - What the Auto Press Says

Though some reviewers praise the 2010 Acura MDX's bold, modified look, its large grille continues to be one of the SUV's most criticized elements.

• "Although we weren't enamored of the second-gen MDX when it arrived wearing an early, prepubescent version of Acura's now-ubiquitous metal-shield grille, passersby will have no problem spotting the 2010 model and its softer metallic nose, revised front fascia, and new rear bumper with more chrome moldings and new exhaust outlets." -- Car and Driver
• "Obviously, the biggest change is the adoption of Acura's new corporate fascia. If you can get passed the massive shield, you'll notice a modified lower valence and a set of reworked headlamps that, like the updated RDX, retain their shape but benefit from a few tweaks to the interior elements." -- Autoblog
• "The Acura front shield, or happy-face, grille remains a very much acquired taste. That's a polite way of saying a lot of people find it butt-ugly but you might, over time, find it endearing." -- Gear Log
