While the CX-9 looks similar to the CX-7 I feel that it has lost a lot of the sportyness. Front and rear overhangs are larger, and the hood and fenders have lost the edge. I also don't get all the plastic cladding at the front, rear, sides and over the wheel wells. You would think that Mazda would have learned from the consumer revolt on the Avalanche and Honda Element.(dunno) (rant)
