We’re pretty sure that the fact that we spotted the Acura MDX crossover in Germany doesn’t mean they will be bringing it to Europe. In fact, the roads where these photos were taken are quite close to the Nurburgring test track, indicating the Americans are actually testing some sporty tech.
This is the third generation of the MDX, feating the new styling direction and a five-poing grille, first seen on the RDX, but with several elements borrowed from the RLX and ILX sedans. It’s likely that what the engineers are testing here is a new hybrid all-wheel drive system.

In the US, the current MDX has been on the market since 2006, and has received a facelift in 2009. So we’re likely looking at a 2013 reveal of the 2014 model year MDX round about the Los Angeles Auto Show. It's likely there will also be a greener hybrid version with three electric motors working in conjunction with a 3.5-liter V6 engine.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
