[draygonia]

I saw a youtube video and I counted the seconds... it showed the CX-9 going from 0-60 in about 4 seconds... Was this guy on a hill?

Check the link.

Talking about manual shifting...this just saved my a$$ from a ticket this morning!

I was crusing at 80mph on my normal route to work when all of a sudden a CHP enters the freeway on a on-ramp I was passing by. I quickly shifted into manual mode and downshifted to fourth then to third to quickly decrease my speed to the posted 65mph without letting the CHP see my brake lights go on...all I can say is SWEET!

Was it Ponch? I use manual every time. I laughed when I watched a CNET video review where the techno nerd basically said (paraphrasing) "CX9 lets you manually shift, but I don't know what that's really good for" and "there's not enough engine in front of it to make it really worth the effort". He probably drove it right after his Grandmother took it for a spin.

He also said there's no iPod adapter, which isn't true.

Me: Don't review if you're not going to do your research, and don't berate features you don't know how to use.
