I sold my 04' CS and purchased a new 07' Acura MDX Sport/Ent. Goodbye 6speedonline. Everyone here's been great.

Why, I actually do like the new mdx, but kind of a different league.

Main reason is reliability. I had the dealer print out the warranty repairs history and to my surprise, my 04' CS had two pages full of repairs. When I owned it, I experience the following issues. Luckily I purchased it with a 100k CPO warranty.

Ignition coil went bad
Rt. parking light when bad (3 times)
Rt. cornering light error
Throttle lag
engine starting issue
stereo amplifier issue
CD changer issue
Steering wheel cover comes off
bad water pump
engine rattling noise (never fixed)
A/C motor went bad
noisey brakes even after replacement
AC fan speed and temp control switch sticks

After driving the CS, I had to get a reliable SUV and handles as well as the CS or close. And the 2007 Acura MDX comes close to the CS in the handling category (acceleration, no). In terms of performance and handling it has great reviews from Car and Driver, Motortrend, Edmunds.com, and others. It actually beat the X5 and Cayenne (both V6) on the test track.

Suspension/handling was developed and tested on the Nürburgring racetrack in Germany. That's why it handle like a German SUV. Its SH-W AWD system and active damper suspension (Magneto-rheological fluid) system on the Sport model is quite impressive.

I'm not saying it handles better than a Cayenne S, but it can hold its own. It does .86g on the skidpad and
62.6mph on the slalom.
