It seems you would be happier with the Lexus. You really don't need the extra space and the accelaration is better on the Lexus with more of a luxury feel-that seems to be the way to go.
 
The only reason I would not go that route is the fact it is a business writeoff. Since that is the case and it is not really costing you the same as "you" paying for the payments, it would be a nice way to "test out" the CX-9.

I would try to negotiate a better deal. I got $2600 off on a GT stickered at $35000 and worked a deal on adding the Homelink mirror and a couple other options/accessories.
 
The real issue right now with a new car/model is there is not a whole bunch of crazy deals to be had. If you really love the car and have the funds, is an extra $1000 or $1500 off really making a difference? I always want to work the best deal, but sometimes I wonder if it is worth the aggrevation just to get that extra $$ off. Over a 60 month term the monthly difference is minimal.
 
You can get a better deal than that, but if you really want the car and that is the best you can do-buy it.

We have S-Plan pricing through my wife's employer. Which is nice b/c we don't have to negotiate - we get the dealer's invoice price with no haggling, whatever options and add-ins we get are also under the S-Plan price.
 
Found the CX-9 we wanted in another dealer's inventory on the internet. GT FWD with moonroof & Bose upgrade. Those were the only features I really cared about, don't need the AWD or Nav., and could benefit from the slightly better mileage since I drive 40 miles a day. I asked the local in-town dealer to have the car I found located here. They wanted me to put a $500 deposit down to make sure I was serious...
 
Yeah, right. What's up with that? Of course I'm serious, I wouldn't be there asking them to get the car for me if I weren't! I decided it wasn't worth the trouble and walked out the door but not before I had filled out a credit app.
 
So I called the dealer who has the car in their inventory and am going to deal with them directly. They're only 45 miles away so it's not that big of a deal. Turns out the car is still in Seattle, not even unloaded from the container. Hopefully it will be here soon! Anyway, this has been a bizarre buying experience. Even with the non-negotiable pricing, it's been a hassle. But I still want that car!

I test drove the CX-9 and the Saturn Outlook...the CX-9 felt so nimble compared to the Outlook. My wife drove the CX-9 as well and she loved it. After she drove the CX-9 we went to the GMC dealer and the moment she sat in the driver's seat she said it felt too big. I'm still going to wait and see how reliable both cars are before I make a decision on which one to purchase.

Can I ask what you paid? That was the same options I went after and my brother has the S plan, but I think I negotiated a better deal than the plan.

Haven't bought it yet... but the MSRP is $35030, and the S-Plan price is $31279. $3750 off the sticker price isn't too bad in my opinion!
 
BTW, we also test drove the Outlook and Dodge Nitro (I know, not even in the same ballpark here). I had the same impressions - CX-9 is much more nimble and fun to drive, the Outlook seemed ponderous and sluggish. And the external dimensions are a bit bigger so it wouldn't have fit into my tiny garage... The Nitro doesn't even compare to the CX-9 in performance, fuel economy, or cargo / passenger capacity.

That's exactly what my wife said, only with the Acadia!
 
I'm waiting to see the new Veracruz before I make any decisions. It has all the same legroom (more headroom) but less cargo space. It's wider than the CX-9 but shorter by 9". It has a bit better power to weight ratio and turning radius. They both use Aisin 6-speed automatic transmissions. It doesn't have nav or bluetooth available, but that's not important to me. You can, however, get the moonroof and entertainment system together.

I can get the S-Plan price through my work as well and it is not as low as the price you have ($31,279). Is it possible you're forgetting to include something? Here is a breakdown of the MSRP and the S-Plan price that I can get:
 
MSRP Car: 32,675
MSRP Moonroof & Bose: 1,760
Destination: 595
Total MSRP: 35,030
 
S-Plan Car: 30,215
S-Plan Moonroof & Bose: 1,514
Destination: 595
Total S-Plan: 32,324
 
So that's 2,706 off the sticker price, not 3,750.

I agree, I don't think the S plan is that much off. I had my brother check into it and they were ball parking the best scenario was around $2500 off. I negotiated $2600 off the same vehicle (MSRP $35030) and went that route.
