For 2012, Mazda will push out CX5, the first new model with full Skyactiv technology.
The new Mazda3 has the Skyactiv engine, and transmission, not the bodyshell and chassis.
The next to come is the Mazda6 (based on Shinari concept).
In relative, CX7 is doing much poorly in sales than CX9. It probably will get remodeled sooner than CX9.
New CX9 will come as 2013(late 2012) or 2014 (late 2013).
The point is that every company schedules their pipeline of new models.

Model Year
I agree, and when I bought my 2010 it was a 10 year deal in my mind. Additionally, I haven't noticed any big crater the 2009's fell into when the '10's came out. Finally, if I were financing, I would be diving on one of these with zero interest for 60 months (even if you have a bank full, ya can't use yours when someone else's is free). The new models won't have anything like that going on.

The CX-7 is actually even older than the CX-9 by about one model year so that might be another indicator that it gets an update first. Also, the CX-7 is good but not a standout in its class while the CX-9, despite its age, is very close to the top of its class.
That said, Mazda better not get lazy with the CX-9. In a sense they've been pretty lucky. GM's crossovers are even older. Honda and Toyota have missed the mark with the Highlander and Pilot. Hyundai hasn't updated the Veracruz to the level that it has the rest of its lineup. And the recent Durango and Explorer are good but not great. But I wouldn't count on any of these brands to not step up their game so Mazda better be ready to do the same.
There are some issues though. Mazda is pushing Skyactiv engines and transmissions. They have done this with the 3 and now the CX-5. The new 6 is supposed to be right around the corner with Skyactiv. But I don't know that there's a powertrain in house that will work on the CX-9. There's no longer a relationship with Ford. So maybe the CX-9 gets redone but keeps the same powertrain until a new one is found.

The only vehicle that needs 3.5L+ V6 is CX9.
Others can simply rely on 2.5L DI w/ or w/o turbo. The trend is going for better MPG.
Therefore, due to low production volume of CX9, I bet that Mazda will continue to source the engine for CX9
from Ford or Toyota, whichever makes sense, business-wise.

I am like a couple others above. I bought the CX9 for the best price I could in 07 with the intent of keeping it 8-10 years as well. I loved my Honda's and almost went with a Pilot just because of the resale value, but when I realized that was the only reason I would be buying it over the Mazda I got the CX9.

I doubt how much the difference of resale values are between a Honda Pilot and Mazda CX9.
So, I checked the kbb.com comparing 2008 Pilot EX-L AWD vs Mazda CX9 GT AWD (about the same MSRP)
(actually better deals are always available from Mazda due to discounts).
The current kbb values for both are $22650 vs $21700. The difference is only $950 after 4 years.
If you are like me owning vehicles for 7-8 years, the difference gets even smaller.
We are not talking about Civic or Accord here. Pilots/Highlanders do not have as high resale values as
Civics or Accords. I know my niece's '08 Civic depreciates like $1K per year, which is outrageously little.

I saw an article last year that was pointing a few cars keeping a very good resale value, some so good that 1 year old models were actually selling as high as brand new ones. The Mazda CX-9 was one of these cars, I don't think depreciation will be an issue since it has a reliable reputation and ages fairly well.
Not really true.
Case in point.

The average American turns their car into a pile of junk usually within 5 years. I am not your average American and tend to keep my vehicles in N.A.D.A. value of "clean retail" or "high retail." I am inclined to believe that there are others like me.

It's sad really. All this talk about saving the planet and conserving resources and people treat cars like disposable products. If half the people in the world took care of their cars like we on this forum do then my guess is that we save on fuel without even trying. Nothing burns fuel like a poorly maintained car with poorly inflated tires. Doesn't matter if it's gas powered or a hybrid, failure to properly maintain any machine will result in poor performance and ultimately poor fuel economy. IMO
Hey, the guy told me this back in the mid-60's. It was sure true then. And if it's one of my kids vehicle you're speaking of, it may still be true. In spite of my best efforts, none of them get it! Oldest is 48. Antonio was writing about my bunch.

Look is very subjective.
I am not a huge fan of the "smiley face" of current-gen styling.
I like the new "Kudo" styling better (Takeri, Shinari, and new CX-5).
However, like the CX5, they always tune down the concept cars for production reasons.
We will see how they turn out eventually.

So you are going to wait 2 years before you decide weather or not you want a new car?
