Release date
The Bottom Line	The Mazda CX-9 is a sporty SUV that packs a lot of space inside but it both looks and performs like a much smaller vehicle. However, the cabin tech lacks polish and needs to be better integrated.	There's a lot to like about the Mazda CX-7 Grand Touring's performance and cabin accommodations, but the cabin tech, while adequate, is sorely in need of an update.	The 2010 Honda Pilot provides room and entertainment for many passengers, but its cabin tech isn't of the highest caliber and innovative engine technologies don't deliver on their promise of increased fuel economy.	The 2008 Toyota Highlander Limited is a well-equipped crossover with some advanced cabin technology and a smooth power train. Aside from some questionable cabin materials, the Highlander is a worthy contender in a competitive segment.	Fully equipped, the 2007 Mazda CX-9 gets close to $40,000, but it is a comfortable car with almost sporty handling. Most of its faults can be mitigated through its options, such as replacing the poor stereo interface with an LCD when you get navigation.
