Whoops route that is. Stodge it seems average for this type of vehicle unfortunately, I rate based on cars in the class, I believe I gave the suzuki a 2 or 1.5.

Thanks Wing. I certainly appreciate your reviews and the real world facts you are reporting here. Some car magazine only do highway runs and their stated fuel economy doesn't mean much. In this case, it demonstrates that a new crossover in not necessarily that much better than other SUVs that have a bad rep.

Whoops route Is that a route you take to the washroom before the trots really get you   Or maybe it's the route you take on the way home over icy roads Or maybe this is what you call a beaten path that's just plain slippery Or maybe there is a guy down the road whose name really is Whoops and that's the way you have to go to see him - or her.  |

No overly impressed by the fuel mileage now that I drove to Toronto and back, I average 12.2L/100km to Toronto and 10.7L/100km on the way back which is about the same as the XL7. |

Any difference in speeds either way? Btw, what would you say was your average speed? |

No difference in speed, set my cruise to 120 both directions. Average is obviously less but never really sped up or slowed down much the entire way, traffic was light. |

When you drive west on the 401, the wind you are driving into can be pretty bad |

Must be uphill all the way to Toronto! I can't explain the phenomenon but this happens every time I make the trip. |

True from my observations as well. |

True from my observations as well.I second that. I do a lot of trips from Toronto to London and notice the same thing. I think the wind shifts before summer though...at least that is what I noticed on my daily bike commute. |

How is it possible that after electricity has traveled through hundreds of miles of power line then hundreds of feet (or yards) of romex in our home, that changing the last three feet of wire with something exotic, expensive (cool looking, and packaged in a pricey box) is going to make a difference?

Funny how some people say the chrome grille looks cheap or out of place...usually comments from import owners...wonder if anyone has seen the cheap grill on the new Acura MDX. Looks pretty cheap if you ask me! Overall though the MDX is real nice.
Or how about the new CR-V!! UGLY face and UGLY grille! The rest of the vehicle looks good though. Funny how some just like to jump down the domestic manufacturers throats - oh well.

If you will actually go back and look at the comments about the CR-V grill, you will see that a lot of people complained about its appearance. |

I actually like the new MDX's grill. As for the CRV, its new grill was the subject of an eight-month flame-fest on car forums--as it deserved. |

The grill of the Edge works very well with the overall design of the SUV. The CRV’s grill is an error of Tribecaian proportions IMO. |

Murano had a chrome grill and that signature colour. Edge's styling does its job.  Gets noticed. |
