Replying to: vad1819 (Jan 18, 2008 5:42 am) I think you're doing a trolling. You don't have any position, you're swinging between different cars. So, give me you're "better choice", that I can recored for future refernces.   I refuse - there is no "better choice" overall. It will vary along with each person's likes and needs.   I'm not supporting one car over another here, because to each his own best choice. It's a shame you don't (or refuse to) understand that important fact. Replies to this message: cason1 (Jan 18, 2008 1:15 pm) cjsb (Jan 18, 2008 2:01 pm) and 2 more...

For example it doesn’t have variable effort steering as option.   For once you are right...it's not an option. It is standard.   At least do a little research before you blast someone's choice.

Just because I, or others, felt another vehicle was better than the Acadia for me/us, don't sweat it so much. I'm not sure what you are chasing. Are you looking for every member to agree that the Acadia is the best of the lot and end the discussion there?   You've shared your feelings on the matter - abundantly. I (and the others) hear you. But it may be time to move past. I don't think any of the vehicles in this thread are bad choices. In fact I think they are all very good choices. I've driven pretty much all of them, some several times. We're fortunate we all have the resources to even consider them in our car purchase decision.   I'll try and lead us in another, slightly more productive, positive direction...   The CX9 SUCKS!

Replying to: cjsb (Jan 18, 2008 2:01 pm) The CX9 SUCKS!   I have to go against that. The CX-9 was a great example of breaking the mold. I like that they tried to bring sport CUV to the mainstream- and they were decently succesful (It doesn't look awesome, but they did a decent styling job.

Replying to: albook (Jan 18, 2008 3:15 pm) Sorry. My poor attempt at levity I suppose. The CX9 does not suck. It's quite good in fact.

Replying to: ateixeira (Jan 18, 2008 10:45 am) Remember right before the last one, Mazda yanked plans for their upscale division, what was it going to be called, Amati IIRC?   That's correct. Remember, Mazda was in rough shape back then. Mazda did actually produce a luxury vehicle under the Amati name, but, since the brand never launched, they named it the Millenia. I still get people to this day looking for the Millenia, or the current Mazda equivalent, and the Mazda6 just dose not quite cut it.   I think Mazda needs to perfect their brand quality and image before they can attempt a launch of a luxury line again. I'm actually surprised that Nissan succeeded with Infiniti, considering they were in dire straights when they launched Infiniti.

Replying to: aviboy97 (Jan 19, 2008 6:03 am) I had a Millenia S. It was really a seriously under appreciated car. Very nice car to roll up big miles on trips in. Not the best handling car I've ever owned, but that wasn't really it's mission. The controls were very good and it was very reliable. On the down side, it depreciated like crazy I bought it used so I didn't get killed as bad as the first owner) and considering the size of the v-6, the gas mileage was pretty poor.

Replying to: cason1 (Jan 19, 2008 10:56 am) What you just said it what I hear constantly. People loved it. Mazda never got a chance to refine it, and just kicked it to the curb after 2002. The only other car Mazda was going to place in the Amati name was the Eunos Cosmo, a 300hp rotary luxury vehicle with technology similar to i-drive from BMW, only 10 years earlier. The car was way ahead of its time.   Back to crossovers!
