You have to love the marketing guys. After all of the work of the design team, a new vehicle must pass through several rigorous channels including engineering, safety, performance, quality, durability, craftsmanship, government inspections, and management clearance, before even the first rivet is drilled or body panel painted. After all is said and done, the marketers get their chance to pitch the final product. In one word the MDX has been defined by these very same marketers: benchmark. Does the MDX live up to this all important designation? Acura would like for you to think so. Let's take a look at Acura's 7 passenger luxury SUV to see if it truly does rise to the level of category leader.
The marketplace is flooded with SUVs. Despite high gas prices, the demand for high profile vehicles continues to remain strong, particularly in the sub-behemoth category which is anything smaller than an Expedition or a Tahoe. Still, some of these less imposing models are fuel eaters too, equipped with V8 engines and all the latest gadgetry. If you want to realize fuel savings in an SUV a compact Ford Escape Hybrid is just
about your only choice, plus a new Lexus model just now hitting showrooms.
I digress.
The Acura MDX, along with its less opulent sister the Honda Pilot, embodies a class of vehicles that offer four wheel drive capabilities for optimum on road duty as well as medium off road duty. If you want a trail rated luxury SUV, then the Jeep Gran Cherokee is more your style. The MDX just cannot go where the Jeep can go.
All comparisons aside, the Acura is definitely luxury with a high profile view. The standard equipment list is extensive and includes the following:
Environmentally conscious SUV owners will enjoy the MDX for its recent Ultra-Low-Emission Vehicle (ULEV-2) designation, a first for any SUV. What this means is that the MDX's emissions ratings are extremely low, far below that of acceptable government levels.
The base MDX retails at a highly competitive $37,125 with fully loaded versions topping out just about forty five thousand dollars. Prices compare favorably with the Jeep Gran Cherokee, but the MDX undercuts BMW and Mercedes models by several thousands of dollars.
Acura recommends that owners use premium [91 octane] gasoline in their MDX. Delivering 17 miles city and 23 miles highway, the MDX's fuel economy is about average for a vehicle of its size.
While the marketers want you to think that the MDX is the benchmark by which all other SUVs must be measured against, it fails to deliver in the all important off road category. Still, Acura price, luxury, and quality is certain to be a draw for buyers interested in a vehicle that is just about as opulent as any production SUV.

Gm Suv Hybrids Given 40% Mileage Increase
The General Motors Corp. said last Tuesday that it now expects 40 percent better fuel economy in city driving from the gasoline-electric hybrid versions of its full-size SUVs than their gasoline-only counterparts, giving the hybrid Chevrolet Tahoes and GMC Yukons 19 or 20 miles a gallon in stop-and-go driving, reported James Healey of USA Today.
The largest American automaker intends to heavily tout improvements in fuel economy for the new-generation Tahoe and Yukon. Highway mileage increased from 19 mpg to 21-22 with the addition of Active Fuel Management cylinder deactivation. Additionally, both the old and new versions get 15 to 16 mpg in town.
The figure is up by 15 percent from what was previously announced. Moreover, the plan will significantly boost the mileage of sport utilities. Compared to a number of mid- and full-size sedans running on gasoline, the boost will be noteworthy. Additionally, the boost will make the SUV hybrids far better than the typical crossovers that use less fuel.
The Tahoe and the Yukon, set to arrive in showrooms this fall, will be the first full-size gasoline-electric hybrid sport utility vehicles. The so-called dual-mode hybrid system used in the vehicles was jointly developed with the Chrysler Group and BMW. The Auburn Hills- and Germany-based automakers intend to offer such technology in their lineup by next year. GM will offer it in 2008 on the Cadillac Escalade, then on the Chevy and GMC full-size pickups. Saturn product lines will get a version later.
GM replaced the Tahoe and Yukon on the new GMT900 platform in late 2005 as a 2007. A hybrid version of the Yukon, which uses the shared GM/DaimlerChrysler Advanced Hybrid System 2, is expected to follow with the 2008 models. The GMT900 based Tahoe and Yukon exceeded initial sales expectations and continues to sell well notwithstanding a waning market for huge SUVs.
For this year, Tahoe and Yukon hybrids receive an enhanced hood and front fascias. Chevrolet Tahoe pedal covers and Yukon hood blended to some cutting edge auto parts accessories. The vehicles boast their new monolithic grille and headlights. Tahoe’s hood is highlighted a design attribute overhanging from its smooth contour. Meanwhile, Yukon features a smooth hood with two slight curves on both sides.
Both the new Yukon and Tahoe feature a more angular design that supposedly gives the vehicles a more upscale aura. The interior was appreciably redesigned as well. It features a new wooded trim dashboard with new chrome accented instrument controls. New door panels and seats were also added to the interior.
The GM SUVs are capable of towing up to 6,200 pounds, versus 8,200 pounds for gasoline-powered counterparts. And the hybrid SUVs will use a conventional four-wheel-drive system with low-range gears appropriate for low-speed challenges such as sand or mud.
"There's still an appetite for full-size SUVs, but gas prices have cooled things off," said Mark Cieslak, the chief engineer for GM's full-size trucks. Fuel prices, plus political and social strain for better mileage, have ‘accelerated development’ of fuel-saving technologies.
The automaker also said that it plans to build 10,000 of the hybrids this year, ambitious because there is no track record to show whether full-size SUV buyers will accept hybrids. For comparison, the Ford Motor Co. has sold about 11,000 Escape hybrid SUVs so far this year.
GM officials reiterated last Tuesday that the automaker will lose money on hybrids at first. The hybrid hardware adds $10,000 per truck to the cost - too much to simply tack onto the sticker price, wrote Healey. The Detroit automaker has not decided on prices yet. It expects to profit from the vehicles if strong sales pull down the cost of components, said Healey.

My 2003 Chevy tahoe turn signals are not working properly? They Blink fast.?
My turn signals blink fast ONLY when my headlamps are on, and only work properly when my headlamps are off. also when i press my brakes the turn signal stops blinkings, but the the little flashers on the instrument panel light up, both of them, and once i release the brakes, it will continue to blink only the side i have my turn signal switched to. I checked all my light bulbs and there all fine. The hazards works fine.
There are two kinds of flashers. The regular one, which you need, and a heavy duty one which is the one you have and is used when trailer lights are connected.
