| I finally got to sit in a CX-9, Acadia, Outlook, and R320CDi (just for fun). I couldn't really get the CX-9 to be comfortable for 3 rows of adult seating. If the first two were good, the third wasn't. If the first and third was, the second wasn't. The Acadia and Outlook just felt too massive. They felt just too big, almost like a huge body on frame SUV. Headroom in the 3rd row was great, but when equipped with the huge glass skylight, I didn't really like the 2nd row headroom. Even though the R320CDi is every bit as massive (203" long) as the Acadia, it didn't give off a huge vehicle vibe. It had the best use of space, and personally, I'd have less of a problem dropping $53k on it than $43k on the Acadia. Now that we've looked at all the real options for us (R320CDi is not really one of them, but it's an awesome vehicle, getting 21/28 mpg), we're really looking forward to seeing the Veracruz. My wife really likes the Santa Fe, including the way it drives, and with the extra room and versatility the Veracruz offers, she'll probably like it too. | |

Concerning options that are of interest to me (sunroof, rear-DVD, NAV and bluetooth), someone please make sure I'm correct in the following statements: (1) The Mazda CX-9 comes with all these options, but you can't get the sunroof with the DVD; (2) The Lambdas come with all these options except for bluetooth (and you can get sunroof with DVD); (3) The Veracruz will not be introduced with NAV nor bluetooth, but will have DVD and sunroof (together?)

Replying to: lucky_777 (Jan 28, 2007 7:24 am) Currently CX-9 is pricier than Pilot and Highlander. If redesigned specs of Highlander is better than the current model and if it can comfortably seat 7 adults and CX-9 will have hard time to convince the potential buyers. Considering 2007 redesigned MDX, Pilot will get same ugly roundish look and with no extra dimensions and will be the big time loser. Veracruz will be winner of all if they sell with NAV.

Does anyone have any idea when the Veracruz will be in dealer showrooms in the US?

I've seen the Outlook. I like the roominess and the panoramic roof. The interior trim (dashboard, door panels, etc) look a bit bland and cheap. The "heads up display" that's available on the Acadia is not available on the Outlook. Haven't seen the CX9 but have checked out the CX7. The interior trim and finish look really chintzy and those red guages are horrible.
