Good numbers, but the MDX is no faster than the PILOT. Read the Pilot reviews in C&D and MT June issues with the 8.1 & 8.19 numbers, but they had similar numbers for the MDX when MDX was introduced.
Consumer Reports which tests acceleration from an idle (no power-braking) recorded 8.0 sec 0-60 for MDX. which is consistent with MW 7.7 sec.
If CR can do 8.0, then C&D and MT are sandbagging numbers for MDX. They are doing the same for the Pilot.
Bottom line; MDX & Pilot have similar acceleration numbers - probably the 7.7 numbers from MW.
