Good morning Russ. The LX and EX interior seating, fabric, sound insulation and suspension has been upgraded.There is a measurable difference($7000) between the LX and top-of the line touring, http://automobiles.honda.com/cr-v/ 10 way power seats, dash electronics and pasive safety, are but a few. Still a great driver. Nothing changes in the engine, transmission, suspension and interior styling. As far as dealership delivery? depends on the sales volume of the dealership and 2014 models remaing on the lot. If Mazda is a beter fit for you, buy it! ( you may wish to drive CR-V before doing so.) Take care.
