Where on earth did this information come from? I haven't read a thing about any of these updates. Could you provide a source?
Granted these could be 'small' updates that may have been left out. If these updates are indeed true, I may just get the 2018 and of the slim picking of 2017s.

If this is true, the CX-9 would jump to the top of my list.

Does any one know, if there is stop and go radar cruise control in 2018 CX-9? Mazda says Sports package include Stop and go. Can we assume that GT will also get full speed radar cruise?
If it's on the Sport trim, it'll most definitely be on the GT.

My local dealer had sent more up-to-date information on the 2018 changes. See the attachment.
Huh. You miss out on the extra sound deadening we get not to mention folding mirrors.

Even in US we should definitely have sound deadening. And mirror position should be recorded in the memory. Also, easy access to 3rd should also be there.
Here in Cda the 2018s will get stop and go on radar cruise as long as it is equipped (GS-L w/tech pkg, GT & Sig) so likely US versions will also have it
No current model Mazda offers memory position for mirrors. So doubt it would be added.
Folding mirrors is easier since it's offered across the globe.

- 2017 CX-9 GT AWD
Did anyone else lease a 2017 at end of August/beginning of September and feel like they get hosed on the deal? I checked with 5 dealers in my area and every single one had the same lease pricing structure for 36 month/15k mile lease on GT AWD: 55% residual and 0.0004 MF plus $600 lease cash (all standard and determined by Mazda for top tier credit). All had additional $1500 discount applied. $0 down and every single dealer was within a couple of dollars of each other and none willing to budge at all.
Now the 2018 figures are out for September: 61% residual and 0.00161 MF. With current incentives even on 2018 models, that's effectively the same monthly payment for the newer model year with lots of additional features! What bugs me even more is that all 3 of the dealers I asked about the 2018 models all said that they would not be out until January 2018 as that is the release cycle for the CX-9. So either they all were lying in hopes of making a sale or were talking out of their asses. If I had known the 2018 models were arriving on lots within 2 weeks of taking delivery of my 2017 I obviously would have waited. Ugh. I've never had such a bad case of buyer's remorse before...

Surprise - auto dealers lie to make a sale. And there is always a newer model out there. At some time you have to fish or cut bait. I'm glad I didn't wait 9 months to get a newer CX-9, because I'vs had some great trips with it that would have sucked in my old car. Enjoy the moment.
Why does the fact that they don't have it currently mean they won't add it? Given where the Signature trim competes, that feature SHOULD be standard. I believe that the 13-15 CX-9 had it, so it would seem pretty easy to bring it back.
Because they made the decision not to offer it on any other model. Folding mirrors were first added to the CX-5 here then 6 followed by the 3 and now CX-9. It needs to be available on at least one current model before they start adding it to others. Logical progression
And buyers are liars as they say in the trade. They lie on a trade value or price they received from another place to trick the dealer to not taking their offer. Whatever.
In any event, not all dealers lie to make a sale. Not a fair statement. He could have gotten a salesman who didnt know and assumed January since both 2016 and 2017 models were released in their respective calendar years.
Not jumping head over heals for the 18. Not enough to get me wishing I didnt have a 16.

Have you tried seat wedges like this one: https://goo.gl/QvPFak.
Looks like a workaround for seats without tilt.
