Am very interested in "doglover's" side-by-side comparison of Acadia and CX-9 when it arrives.

...I just got bad news...now my CX-9 won't be coming until the second week of May :banghead: because there is a rail strike, not sure if it is the Canadian one? So it may be a while before the comparison, but I will post many pictures and a lenghty review to make up for it. ;D

See there? Acadia's aren't the only vehicles that are having long wait times. Sorry to hear that doglover. I'm looking forward to your unique perspective comparison. I wonder if you'll be the first family in America to own both of these new vehicles?

I have seen a ton of CX-9s...and only four Acadia's on the road so far (and one being an Acadia that slammed into the back of my car).

With you being in MN, it might be-- but I thought the CN strike was over.

I was told that all the CX-9s were prepped for America in San Antonio, I think? I want to say the dealer said that they entered via LA or some west coast port, and then went train to San Antonio.

The part that was strange about that to me is if you already have a boat coming from Japan, is it less expensive to ship via train, than boat it all the way to Texas and then go a short land trip to San Antonio? Maybe the ship is too big for the Panama Canal.

I saw my first CX-9 in the wild this morning while dropping my son off at school. I still have not seen an Acadia or Outlook on the road in Omaha. Also, the Mazda dealer I went to for a test drive had a lot more inventory of CX-9s than the GMC dealers have of Acadias. They had about 20 CX-9s listed in inventory on their web site. Local GMC dealers have not had more than 3-5 Acadias in stock at any time I've checked.

You heard wrong!

They come in at the Tacoma, WA port and another port in CA.

Anywhere else??????????

We might be the first family to own both, you're right. It sucks that I hav waited a long time for both of our cars. Oh well, it's well worth the wait.

Tested both and found the Acadia roomier and had a more menacing look that would fed off aggressive drivers who may want to cut me off, or pedestrians who may want to just step in front of me - hoping I'd stop for them.

The Acadia looks better and the engine's growl was more musical to my ears. The CX-9 was a little too feminine for my masculinity.
