I will agree with this from experience. Honda/Acura has gone way to far into infotainment and tech that its a nightmare. I miss the Honda of the 90s. We have so many problems with the 2018 TLX.

Yep. They've had to follow the Germans down the road of more frequent tech updates and turbo engines, so now they're now offering German reliability (maybe worse since they have less experience). Toyota seems to be facing similar challenges as they transition to the turbo/tech era.

I think that's always been Acura's "secret" tagline: "For the money it works well". Does the MDX now have the same infotainment system as the RDX? That would be a dealbreaker for me- it's infuriatingly frustrating to use. They should have just used the same system as the Accord and called it a day rather than trying to re-invent the wheel w/ some bizarre trackpad interface (or just copied BMW and used an actual control wheel)..

Yep. They got the new X5, with a six cylinder. And their MDX must have been 10 years old or so. They tend to buy one car and keep it forever.
