In what must have been a tough decision, Motor Trend has chosen Mazda’s 2008 CX-9 as their SUV of the Year. The Associated Press quotes the magazine’s editor-in-chief, Angus MacKenzie, as saying the CX-9 is “arguably the most enjoyable sport utility to drive, and a great reminder that SUVs can be as exciting as any car.”
Motor Trend is expected to make the announcement early Monday, while those still relying on dead trees and the postal service will learn about it in the November 6th issue of the print pub.
The seven-seat, 273 hp SUV won the honor by beating out tough competition like Buick’s Enclave, Toyota’s Highlander and Land Cruiser and the Land Rover LR2. Others in the running were Hyundai Veracruz, Jeep Liberty and Patriot, the Nissan Rogue, Saturn’s Vue and the Subaru Tribeca.
