Opinions remain divided on a new class of luxury crossovers that are sweeping the market. Some say they're completely useless, while other embrace their sporty nature. So far they've only included the Infiniti FX and the new BMW X6, but now Acura has joined the fray with the new ZDX.

If this looks somewhat familiar to you, it's because the production model which Honda's luxury division just launched closely mirrors the concept car it unveiled at the New York Auto Show just this past April. The production model features all the latest developments from the Japanese automaker, including a 300-horsepower variable-valve 3.7-liter V6 (the same as that found in the TL and RL luxury sedans) driving through the company's very first six-speed automatic transmission and the advanced Super Handling All-Wheel-Drive system. Couple all of that with an avant-garde luxurious interior and suddenly BMW and Infiniti have got some serious company to contend with. .
