Lets just Leave the Status Quo aside for one second. In all seriousness Im not really to fond of Acura but honestly youll probably get alot more bang for your buck in the Acura MDX over the Audi Q7, However in terms of Design, Quality, Luxury and Refinement I would take the Audi Q7 over the MDX anyday & everyday. In terms of Value the Acura MDX offers better standards for the money, not to mention the Acura MDX undercuts the Audi Q7 by $3,000 within each others starting price. The Acura MDX has a more powerful engine at 300 HP while the Audi Q7 produces 272 HP not to mention the Q7 is a much heavier and larger SUV, but you cant beat the handeling and peformance of an Audi, the over all drive is more pleasing behind the wheel of an Audi. Audi's over all engineering is more mature then Acura which I might add has no history of performance vehicles the way Audi has an S-line, BMW has an M-series, Infiniti has an IPL series or the way Mercedes has an AMG series. The Acura Basically takes the award for Value but if your looking for a more refined SUV that pays attention to alot more detail then look no further then Audi. Audi offers alot more features you can opt for unlike the Acura MDX, the Q7 has the option of a Panoramic sunroof, Audi's famous LED Daytime running lights and alot more luxurious hightech features which the MDX fails to offer. Acura is a well extablished company but they arent quite on par with other Luxury brands that play in this field such as Lexus, Infiniti, Audi, BMW and Mercedes Benz. But unlike the many other german cars, I think Acura is a very reliable brand, I would probably say more reliable then Audi. In Conclusion I would take the Audi Q7 but this is just my opinion, I am not being biased. I have yet to own any of these cars, I have only had experience behind the wheel of BMW and INFINITI. Good luck.

I 100% agree with John. If you want the bang for your buck, hands down MDX. If you have a bit of spare cash coming out of your ***, Q7.
