Have Canadians embraced the ZDX?

When AutoNorth.ca's Chuck Reimer tested the Acura ZDX in May (link) he said "The ZDX doesn’t have the makings to be a runaway sales success, but it does have plenty to enjoy."

It would appear that Canadians agree....at least with the first part. In an effort to boost ZDX sales and transition to 2011 models Honda Canada is putting some cash on the hood of 2010 ZDX models, the type of cash that you rarely find on the hood of a premium Japanese offering.

More after the jump.

If you've got the cash (or a friendly banking manager) then you can take advantage of $12,000 cash back, dropping the price from $58,020 to a more palatable $46,020. The $12,000 incentive is twice as high as the incentive on the MDX on which the ZDX is based.

If you were in the market would you consider the ZDX? Does the incentive change your mind?

If I was in the market for a premium SUV and the ZDX had a Manual Transmission, the 12000 would definitely make me check it out.

dud!

12,000 $ reflects the near-parity of US and CDN dollars, as well as something akin to desperation. Acura really screwed the styling of all its current generation (boat shape, the beak), and they are paying the price.

I notice that all the ad pics focus on the odd looking ZDX butt rather than its snaggle-toothed front.

This thing is an eye sore at best. What has happened to Honda?

One of the worst designs ever. Honda, have you ever heard of a station wagon? We would like one. With a 6-speed. Please.

Acura needs new design language dearly. The ZDX wins the Aztek of the year award!

Bring the TSX wagon!

I bought the ZDX after seeing the 12K + 1K promo. Then I got another 3K off. So total I got 16K off my black ZDX. The ride is awesome and the quality is great. I love the X6-like design but at a much better price!

Congratulations Honda; with the ZDX, along with the Crosstour, you have now reached the nadir of Honda / Acura design
It can only go up from here.
Now that we all enjoyed laughing at and shaking our heads at what Honda has become can you now go ahead and okay the TSX wagon (don't forget the six speed manual) for release in Canada?
