What can you say?

It's an awkward-looking vehicle, just like the other "neither fish nor fowl" models out there like the X6 and the Crosstour. Even so, I think Acura managed to make the ZDX even MORE awkward-looking than the others. Heck, its little brother Crosstour looks more "balanced" than it does.

The ZDX is too heavy, the hatch is too small, the mileage is too low, etc., etc. But mainly, these vehicles are the answer to a question no one asked.

What are carmakers thinking? As if they're not struggling enough as it is, they come out with vehicles few peopel will actually buy. Go figger.

I've got to disagree, Andrey - no elephant weighing over 5,200 lb. can rightly be called sporty, no matter whether it has a blue-and-white propeller on its nose or not. Get too sporty with this behemoth in the twisties and you'll end up in the ditch feeling foolish. The X6 is nothing but a tall-ish station wagon with a sloping roof that cuts into passenger space and cargo capacity.

A "car" shaped like this actually SHOULD be more softly-sprung and LESS sporty, since station wagons are designed for families and soccer moms. Unfortunately, neither the x6 nor the ZDX fills that role well, so neither of them has a clear-cut mission in life. And that's why neither one will sell many copies - in America, anyway.

HAHAHA.  Oh man, they are both hideous.  Look like moon buggy.  OK that being said, I just wish the automakers would stop remaking the dictionary.  COUPE=2 doors.  You don't see them making black cars and then saying it's uh "Uber Dark Red".  How about making a Hatchback and calling it a "Xtra Ventillated 4-door".  I mean cmon now.  (Yes MB I'm talking to  you too)
I will say that in person the X6 isn't that bad but I seem to be the only one who thinks that.  Wife will actually point it out on the road and tell me "that's the stupidest ugliest car I've ever seen" and she keeps doing it like I haven't heard her say it everytime.  My response is usually "actually the Acura Transformer (the TL I think) is the ugliest car I've ever seen.

I'd rather have the ZDX, both look different, but the interior of the ZDX looks
more modern than the X6.   

Watch out, Trin - someone will call you a Luddite if you keep this up!

I agree on VR - the only carmaker who has one that works is Acura, and my Acuras worked very well. Oh, I can usually get the Lexus to show a list of nearby restaurants, but it doesn't seem to understand much else. And why every carmaker has a different set of command logic is beyond me ... with one system, you must say "Show nearest gas station", while another one requires you to say , "Show nearby gas stations". Say the wrong thing and you get nothing. I'd like ot see this standardized, since I don't know what to say any more.

Points of interest aren't intended for areas right around where you live, and where you know your way around. It's mainly for travel. Drive into a strange city and it's very handy to e able to ask the system for lodging, restaurants, gas stations, ATM's, or whatever. And after you've gassed up and had dinner, you can check out a nearby movie or whatever. VERY useful when traveling.

Back to VR, a typical attempt on my Infiniti usually went like this:

Me: "Show nearby restaurants"
Car: "That is not a valid command"
Me: "Huh? Show ... nearby ... restaurants"
Car: "Displaying post office icons on screen"
Me: "WHAT??? SHOW NEARBY R-E-S-T-A-U-R-A-N-T-S"
Car: "There is no CD loaded in the player"
Me: "YOU SORRY PIECE OF ****, show the ******* RESTAURANTS!
Car: "I'm sorry, Dave - I can't do that."
