Yup. But, I had a lot of anticipation for the new Pilot, and i sort of just nodded when it came out. I was figuring it was the only real competition so I'm not sure it anything else from non luxury brands will sway me away. I won't like the price, I'm pretty sure of that, but when MDXs are...

I've had V8s (unfortunately in pick ups not sedans/coupes but still), however never an inline 6. I'm running out of chances to have an engine like that, so I know which box I'd check all things being equal.

Ya, Highlander and Pilot too I've since noticed. I know some 5 kid families, this class is just too small for them, NVM a 6 kid family (I will say I don't know one fam with 6... good lord)

I thought the same on the seats, but when i googled it this morning, the search results popped up. The text preview for the mazda.ca link says Preview of the first-ever 8-passenger Mazda CX-90. I just cut and pasted it now, but i was unsure if it is accurate so thought I'd ask. The landing...

Sorry, did we know it's an 8 seater? I don't recall seeing that before, but I've not paid too much attn until this month (and now getting impatient). I guess that's how they all do it now, but I don't want this thing bigger than it needs to be. I wouldn't have minded a slightly more compact...

It's disappointing, but doesn't boggle my mind when you look at sales figures and what other manufacturers are doing with sedans. Id be interested in an inline 6 cyl Mazda 6 with AWD, wagon especially...I just don't know how many other buyers are.

At this point, I'm looking for puddles and sniffing like a hound hoping to find the issue. Better now, since with a new engine I'd be good to go. If this happens instead on a trip, a few months out of warranty... Nope, I'm not dreading it, I'm hoping for it. 2 yr countdown for me to have this...

Thanks for this, looked at website but wondering if there's a Cdn company. Or i guess it doesn't matter, just mail it across border? Maybe some northerners can advise... @sm1ke I recall you send regularly, did you have a preferred lab in Canada? I'm def crazy low milage, 17000ish km after 3...

I'm having doubts. Got mine just over 3 yrs ago, 2019 leased. Love it. Figured I'd buy it out after the 5 yr term ends, since the buyout prob will still be a deal compared to the market then. I'm super low km as well, car has hardly moved in covid. So buying out seemed a no brainer. Now I...

While I hope I love the look as much as I do the CX9 (from what I've seen, I'd say it's possible I will), end of day I'd say none of the current competition wins a beauty contest. I had hopes for the Pilot, but think the new CRV looks better which is a shame. They did IMO improve the Pilot looks...

While I'd like this too, it's interesting that sometimes these so called advanced systems such as the Highlander or Subaru's symmetrical AWD don't result in handling superiority. I'm sure there are safety benefits, but for me the priority is give it good driving dynamics, with or without...

Oh yea. Took me a few times of wondering why is it so dark, before I realized the light is in my eyes when I look up but not where my junk is. Great spot for a light if you don't have a cargo cover. My vote would be on the side panels below the cover level.

Must have for me: Tow capacity minimum 5000 lb Nice to have: longer than 6 mos interval for oil change, max HP on reg gas, foot release tailgate (I dont have on my 19 but i think the cx9 does now so hopefully it continues), rear heated seats, a tailgate button that works without the doors...

Ok thanks, I figured that is the sort of game people play. A lot of moving parts to the math, it's sort of scary though when you look at the #s some vehicles with only a bit more weight than the cx9 can tow. A Q7 has more power and curbweight than the cx9, but more than double the tow weight...

Oh I'm def overthinking, that's basically my way (it's a joy for my wife). I'm actually asking just to understand since I've never done this, but as well I have a friend going thru the same thinking process and he has an MDX that would be right at the payload and tongue weight limits with one...

Follow up Q, as I'm a total newb to all this. Making up numbers. Say I am at the limit of a vehicles payload, so I need to move gear to the trailer. Say 500 lb of gear (it wont be that much but just say). I'm still well under the trailer payload (700 lb under even with full water tank). Well...

Hi, so am I understanding this right...if a cx9 can tow 3500 lb, the max tongue weight is 350 lb?

Yup, and Edge, Murano or Passport would suit me ok if the first 2 could handle or the third had a decent interior. Now, not to overthink, but since the CX90 is moving a bit upmarket, maybe the CX70 sits just above these 3 vehicles mentioned? I would pay a few grand over their topline price to...

I'd be very keen to see how the 70 turns out. I don't actually need the 7 seats I have now in the CX9 so anything longer...is prob over my limit. The 9 is manageable of course, but is it ideal for me? A bit big already. My prob was felt the CX5 was small, so perhaps my "just right" problem will...

We had initially looked at Muranos, but the drive was blah. Have a CRV, wanted something a bit upmarket. Not necessarily a 7 seater, but the CX5 just seemed a bit tighter than I'd like (despite just one kid and one small dog). We live in the burbs so the size isn't an issue, but had we still...
