SUV OF THE YEAR
LOS ANGELES, CA (October 15, 2007) - Motor Trend announced today that the Mazda CX-9 is Motor Trend's 2008 Sport/Utility of the Year.
The CX-9 reigned supreme out of a diverse crowd of 11 contenders, one of the highest quality fields Motor Trend has seen since it started evaluating sport/utilities. A category once reserved for a few off-road specialists, the sport/utility or crossover class now offers a vehicle for practically any driver, from almost any automaker. Angus MacKenzie, editor in chief of Motor Trend , noted that this year's field, while smaller than last year's, includes significant new entries.
Mazda's victory, however, was a unanimous decision by the panel of judges.
"We wondered if it would be possible for Mazda to inject its sports car DNA into their first-ever three-row crossover-a crossover that happened to be one of the largest in the lineup," said MacKenzie. "After three days of testing, that question was answered in full. It was arguably the most enjoyable sport/utility to drive, and a great reminder that SUVs can be as exciting as any car."
