Looks great and a good driving vehicle too. We almost bought one until the wife said she wanted to just look at minivans. Once we did that, she was hooked on the vans. :/

I swear, I just don’t understand why car companies think huge cheese grater grilles are attractive

for what else is out there, it is a great looking vehicle; the car with personality

Rivian R1S is similarly sized to the CX-9, but currently starts at over $90k

I'd be curious to see how it performs next to the 3.7. My parents had one, and it never felt taxed. I think it looks great.

I can't get past that grill . We have a 2012 CX-9 and it's been the best vehicle we ever owned .

I'm not in love with the looks of the grill on the cx-9... but I absolutely abhor the looks of one of those Lexus SUV's... the hourglass is gigantic, and it tapers back from a leading edge that is at mid grill... So the taper is fine as it goes up, but it also tapers as it goes down . That reverse taper is so Art Deco - look of motion and speed. ***** Lexus SUV.

What's up with these atrocious grilles? I saw a new Hyundai Genesis wagon thingy and the grille was downright comedic. Only a small portion of it was actually hollow, and the rest of it was just etched into the plastic. I was wondering if it escaped off a National Lampoon film set or something .This current fad makes cars look like they have some kind've inbred genetic issue. Are their designers high on something while they're at the drawing board?

2022 might be the last year for the CX-9. The CX-90 is coming.
