As I wrote in the other thread, I drove a CX-9 this morning. What a machine!!! Mazda will sell a ton of these. When you park it beside the CX-7 it makes the 7 look like a Mazda 3 sport. However when when you drive it, it doesn't really drive much bigger than the 7. Amazing that a vehicle this big is so nimble. Some people looking for a more luxurious ride might want to stick with the 18" wheels, the steering is VERY sensitive with the 20" wheels. I'll give a more detailed review later, but this vehicle is very upscale for Mazda. The 3.5L is amazingly responsive from a dead stop for a DOHC motor. The 9 is definatley quicker than the 7, 0-30 mph. However the 7 does seem to pull harder above 60 mph.
