    Spied: 2017 Mazda CX-9

    To be fair, the 2017 MDX will not be considered "totally redesigned." It's just a mid cycle refresh. The front grill is redesigned, but interior layout, powertrain, and technology will be little changed.

    Mazda didn't get my business because the sale start date of it was never public knowledge soon enough. I ended up buying a new Pilot Touring in the middle of May. I do think the new Pilot is ugly, but my wife really likes it, so that is going to be her vehicle now. Mine wI'll now be our '14...

    Woah, seriously bad fitting, baggy leather at the bottom of the 2nd row seat at 2:35 on the video. Very cheap plastic (shiny and hard looking) for the rear HVAC vent plastic piece as well. Hmmm....

    That Instagram post did say that they were offloading them so that they could go on sale "by July..." so I think that my timeline is still holding true (start sale by July 1st)

    Yes, that article touches on just the mazda 3 and mx-5. But here is the article I recently read: http://www.autonews.com/article/20160502/RETAIL01/305029996/mazda-combats-sales-damage-with-redesigned-cx-9-flagship "Mazda's U.S. sales slumped 17 percent through March from a year earlier to...

    My question is, did you get to sit in the third row? Is it going to fit adults? Obviously I don't mean for long trips, but we had an Infiniti jx35 (qx60 now) and I could actually sit in the 3rd row with just enough headspace for no more than an hour drive. And I'm 6'3"!

    I understand back in February when the dealers said they couldn't say a sale date because nobody would buy the remaining 2015 cx9s...and that logic might have made sense in March and April. But now it's 23 days until the sale date and we've had not one new update from mazda on anything about...

    I don't think that's the case, I called Mazda's Jacksonville, FL shipping port and they said that the first CX-9s won't arrive here until June 15, then by time shipping to the dealers happens, it won't be until July 1st that they'd go on sale.

    Well my kids are going to have a choice when they reach college age, they can go to the finest public schools in Indiana for free (tuition) or they can take out loans like everyone else. Indiana has a great veterans benefit that if you served on active duty, were a resident here for at least 3...

    I agree with you all, a minivan is the practical way to go, that's why we just bought a 2014 Honda Odyssey in February. But since we both work full time jobs, sometimes the parent that drops the kids off isn't necessarily the parent that picks them up, so we need another vehicle with the...

    You guys are preaching to the choir as to why we don't need 3 LATCH systems across, but my wife won't budge. I believe it's because she just doesn't want to consider the CX9, but.... I have 4 year old twins with a newborn on the way. I frequently consult www.thecarseatlady.com and have read...

    I also wanted to post for those that care, that the new CX9 has 2 complete LATCH systems on the outboard 2nd row seats, a tether-only in the middle 2nd row seat and a tether-only on the passengers side 3rd row seat. The previous generation, as some of you know, had all of that except for no...

    Hi folks, I just registered on your site today because my wife and I are (were) considering buying the new CX9 now that we have a third child on the way. I might have some information nobody else has, and that is the rough date that the cx9 will be available at dealerships: July 1st. The...
