Help me to identify hit-and-run car model

Hey fellow car enthusiasts,

Yesterday a coworker at work got side-swiped by an SUV while riding a bike and the car took off. We managed to get a screenshot of a video but it's really blurry so I need help identifying this car model. My initial thought was an Acura MDX but the photo is too blurry to be sure. Any help is appreciated!

Looks like that to me, too, but if you could post the video we might be able to get a better sense of it.

Yeah, I asked for the video clip as it would reduce the motion blur. Will update when I get it.
Thanks all!

I wasn't sure about MDX, but the shape of the C pillar is convincing, MDX.

Yep, the c-pillar shape was what helped me to eliminate a lot of contenders.

Yep, MDX was my first thought before reading these responses.

Yup looks like an MDX. Sorry for my poor edit skills, but here's a side by side comparison.

MDX.

Thought maybe RX350 also, but the rear is different and doesn't have the high, dark valence on the bumper nor the odd shaped c-pillar.

Back window looks more straight / upright and tires look bigger in blurry photo. Honestly, it's hard to tell. They all look so much alike. My initial thought was Infiniti.

Can't tell if it's the 2nd or 3rd gen MDX, but it's certainly one of those. I suspect the former.

I concur with the MDX. OP, please take your camera out of UFO/Bigfoot/Lochness Monster mode when taking pictures in the future. It makes identification very difficult. The addition of one of these would be beneficial, as well.

Good luck in resolving the problem.

It looks like an Acura to me. But curious - Why not just go to the police and let the authorities handle it?
