Not sure who said it, but, ;
The Atlas is dimensionally bigger than the MDX and is nearly $15,000 less for base price.
For the price of a loaded MDX, the SRT Durango is a way better option and will poop all over it. Even an R/T is a way better option and loaded with discounts can be had for low-mid 40's (Leather, vented seats, adaptive cruise control, 8.4" screen, etc.)
Atlas is nice for sure, but, for the price with options, there are better options that will make the driving and ownership experience overall better.
Durango R/T or SRT
Explorer Sport
New Traverse (weak engine, but, they look really nice and drive well)
CX-9 - Not a "performer" but, they are roomy, made well and look nice
