From the 2013 New York International Auto Show, 2014 Acura MDX Chief Engineer Jim Keller takes some time to talk with the Temple of VTEC about the new model. Providing a good bit of information and insight, the interview is split into 3 videos: Introduction and General Overview, Interior Overview, and Exterior Overview. Check out the clips below then head over to vtec.net to join the discussion.

The concealed exhaust system could be a big mistake in marketing for the 50 and older group. The dual exhaust gives a fast and sporty look that the MDX needs.
What happened to the fog lights? They are extremely useful and add a sportier appearance to the vehicle. The LED fog lights on the prototype added a lot to the appearance. I don’t think I’ve seen a new SUV or crossover without fog lights. Somewhat concerning considering they have been on all previous models.

I agree. This image does seem to show fog lights on the 2014 MDX; possibly it will be offered as an option.

I COMPLETELY AGREE I JUST READ THAT. THE FOG LIGHTS WILL BE AVAILABLE AS AN OPTION, which I think is crazy IT SHOULD BE STANDARD. THIS WILL,ULTIMATELY PLAY A HUGE FACTOR IN MY DECISION IF I AM GOING TO BUY IT OR NOT. @Mark Olsen
