Default Thought and Perspective

Drove a CX-9 today....high value, very nice, loaded, firm and responsive. I've been spoiled by the VW/Audi interior however. Every interior I've seen is sub standard from my T'reg....damn the VAG.

Massive usable space, good looks compared to Hghlander.....gonna look MDX soon for alternate.

Anybody else opine on the SUV/Crossover with thrid row?

CX-9 is nice but I think the Acura MDX interior is on a whole different level. Also, SH-AWD is awesome, the new MDX is an amazing driver for such a beast.

The Venza is a 5 seater only. The Highlander is a good choice as well but I think I would get tired of seeing 3 dozen of the the same vehicle during my commute

I think you need to step up to a GL to get a Merc with the third row.

Unless you are one of those rare few who actually find the R-class remotely attractive

My vote still stands with the MDX.

It's a dumb reason to avoid an otherwise good vehicle, but I just can't get past the Acura beak.
