Thinking of buying the top of the line model. Is it better than the Toyota Hylander or the Hyuandai 7 passenger SUVs? Are there any superior alternatives?

I think it's a great SUV. I plan on buying one myself. I test drove it, and it handles like a much smaller vehicle. Almost like a car, but not quite. It does not feel as large as it is.
The 3rd row is not quite a comfortable as the Honda Pilot, but the Pilot's looks are old and dated. I think the 2009 model is a complete redesign.
The Hyundai and Hylander are the only foreign options that I would consider. Surprisingly, the GM based SUVs are really good looking, especially the new Buick. But, I don't think they are quite as good as the Japanese/Korean models in overall quality and performance.

It won the SUV award, but that doesn't mean its the best option for you. You'll have to go to www.edmunds.com and compare the CX-9 with the Highlander and Veracruz. Those 3 were the top 3 in the Motortrend comparison so you could be very happy with any of them. You need to decide what options you want and how much you want to pay, its a win win situation with such a great choice of mid-size SUV's now on the market. I'd probably go with the Highlander Hybrid myself, but like others said...TEST DRIVE THEM ALL!!

The Mazda CX-9 is MotorTrends SUV of the year. It smacked the competition up and down. It is better than the Highlander and the Hyundai. Go drive one, you will love it.
