anyone know what the RDX got?

I know this is a little OT, but what's the appeal of these mini-SUVs like the CX-7? In terms of headroom, legroom, and trunk space it doesn't seem to be a lot bigger than something like the Mazda6. The only major difference appears to be how high you sit off the ground.

Don't get me wrong, I think it looks really great, but it just seems somewhat impractical is all. Unless you're going to have something that's a more classic SUV and use it for hauling stuff or taking it off-road I would think it would be better to just stick with a nice size sedan.

I'm was looking at getting a CX7for my wife. She needs a new car, but I just recently saw pics of the CX-9 and while the exterior looks similar to the CX-7, the interior looks way more upscale.

Well, I think the ground clearance is a big thing. Especially for snow and, if you dare, go off-roading in these things. The truck tires also do wonders in the snow and ice and you don't need to change them for summer tires either.

Doesn't look like the RDX has been tested yet according to the NHTSA website.
