You can build a 2013 now on the official site and to answer my own question no you cannot get a sunroof and rear entertainment dvd together.

According MotorTrend, thanks to this major facekife CX9, we will not see the FMC CX9 until 2015.
2015. Just in time when I replace my 2008.

"Don’t expect new engines or transmission for the three-row Mazda CX-9 crossover before a 2015 or 2016 redesign, though new front and rear fascias, an updated grille, and an interior refresh are part of a 2013 makeover."

Picked up a 2013 CX9 brochure a couple days ago at dealership.
Saw one up close.
Other than the front and rear styling changes, I noticed the following from the brochure.
1) daytime running LED lights integrated into headlights
2) HD Radio, Pandora
3) backview camera has guiding lines once again
4) Tom-Tom GPS (incl. voice control)
5) side mirrors w/ memory (in addition to seats)
6) Nicer leather seat trimming.
7) 6 colors only - no more blue

I wrote the list from the perspective of an '08 GT owner. These are new features to me.
Don't forget back-up sensors and the BSMS is available on the Touring model when equipped with the tech package. That's a big plus IMO.
Kind of looks like Infiniti JX to me

That was my impression too. Even the interior. Except the JX is all about the curves. Takes it to the next level.
Check out this cool 360 deg view. http://www.infiniti.com/us/models/current_models/jx.view.gallery.html#u=/us/models/current_models/jx.view.360.html&view=17

The JX is cool except for the quarter glass. I can't get past that horrific looking glass angle. The Pathfinder quarter glass looks much better. I looked at a 2013 Pathfinder today that was at a bodyshop... 37k doesn't even get you projector lenses in the headlights, let alone xenon. Costs Nissan all of 10 bucks to make the headlamps on those things. Pretty nice on the inside, but pretty cheap on the outside, if you ask me. The Infinty is nicer on the outside, but again, the quarter glass sucks.
Yeah, design statements like that tend to be polarizing. For those keeping track, the JX starts in the low $40K "luxury" price range, where our loaded Mazda GT tops out.
Here's the 360 view from the cockpit. Notice the near complete blocking of rear views by the tall/offset head rests.

Yeah I looked at that and some other premium SUVs but in the end couldn't see paying that money for something I'm buying to use for utility. I've already starting scratching the back up from using, killing me because car is so new and would be killing me more if I paid $20k more for it.
Ah--I totally forgot to check this at the Philly Auto Show this week. I liked the new perforated leather; but didn't like the deletion of the 2-toned leather trim in the seats. Although I don't love the red gauges on my '12, I didn't really love the new IP either--kind of bland.
And--no headlight washers on the US model...that I remembered to check.
I think it looks really nice. This refresh is far nicer than the one we saw in 2010 (?) imo - though removing the LED rears makes no sense to me. I'm also surprised that after some 6-7 years they aren't doing anything more than a basic refresh... and the interior is exactly the same (armrest excluded) as my 2007. While I still think it is a pretty nice interior, I'm sure they could have at least refreshed it so many years later.
Looks like the hood, front fenders, rear quarters are all the same as previous models. Should be fairly straightforward to convert an earlier model to this look.
Looks like front/rear bumpers, headlights, tailights, and modified exhaust tips would do it. Nice.
I would LOVE to have the sensors. One thing I do not like about my 2012.
