maverick8, thanks a lot for the information. Now I have another question. Should I wait until the end of the year to get a better deal on the CX-9 2008 or should I go ahead and buy the 2007. Please advise

Sameh, that is really your decision after considering your options. I too am in a similar position, though we may go for the Outlook instead. Here are the points to consider:
 
08 =
Larger engine = more hp & torque
Less room for negotiation
Higher MF for lease & higher % for finance (see Edmunds.com)
Higher residual on lease (maybe 1%)
Limited supply but you can order your spec
 
07 =
Smaller engine
Limited availability
Better MF and finance rates (depending on term)
Dealers more likely to deal!
 
It's a tough, timing based decision.

Hello My Wife and I are planning on buying a CX9 in the near future. Either a 07 or a 08
While building a CX9 on the Mazda web site our CX9 GT FWD with-:
 
Assistance package
 
Moonroof/bose/6CD package
 
Auto-dim mirror, homelink w/rain sensor
 
Front and rear splash guards
Remote engine start
 
Roof rails and sirius came to $38,960 MSRP.
 
What price should we be looking for when we go to our local dealer?

Is there no way to have the tail gate assist as a seperate option? On the Mazda website you can only have the electric tailgate with the navigation and back up camera option. at $2500. That's kinda lame.

Mazda is lame on optional packages. Either moonroof or rear-DVD (technical limitation) , xenon headlights require 20" wheels, navigation requires you to pick one of moonroof or rear-DVD, foglights are not available factory-installed in the lesser models, etc.

Yup I quite agree, totally lame option packages. This fact alone may be the deal breaker. I may have to look at the new Highlander.....

Maybe so, but you just cannot beat the driving dynamics of a CX-9...oh...especially if you're comparing to a Slowyota; I mean Toyota Highlander.
The next closest vehicle with enthusiastic driving is the Acura MDX.

For awhile, the option packages were deal breaker for us, since reviews by the major magazines were unanimous about the harsh ride for the 20" in the GT but we wanted Xenon headlights. After a test-drive, we didn't mind the ride and the CX-9 was back in our list.
 
I wouldn't mock the Highlander, it is faster and probably more capable dynamically than a CX-9. "Handling" is subjective on anything 200" long and weighting more than 4000lbs.

Have any of you really' driven an Outlook / Acadia AWD? preferably the 275 hp model.

I haven't driven the Outlook/Acadia but I plan on doing it on my next days off.
We looked at the Acadia and it was nice inside albeit it was the $42,000 all the bells and whistles, it had some options that we wouldn't choose, but for a $42,000 car I wasn't that impressed.
The fact that the rails that the seats slide back and forward on were not covered up seemed cheap to me, I can just see myself picking french fries and dog hair out of those once a year to keep the seats free.
The Saturn I know is based on the same platform as the Acadia, but like my wife say's "Honey it's a Saturn! Why if it's the same is it cheaper" Can't argue with that.
I'm also gooing to take the new 2008 Highlander out for a test drive too.
I keep you guys posted.
  
I keep coming back to the CX-9 despite of the price, my wife says she prefers the look of the Acadia (I don't, but hey! it's not my car) and she says the Highlander is growing on her, but if she wanted a Toyota she'd get the 4 runner which I don't like at it's got a God awfull interior (IMHO, sorry 4 runner fans) and the gas milage sucks.
