Apparently either you cherry pick the posts you want to see, or you simply ignore the sequence of post in this thread and start doing personal attacks without any merit!
JSB33 posted the sales numbers on CX-5. I merely made a comment. Dr. Awkward then responded with one-month sales figure to prove my comment on low sales number "is pretty lame and just not true"! I then replied with 5-year sales figures for major compact CUVs to show CX-5 sales are indeed at the bottom of the list. So what's wrong with posting the most recent sales data and not the same data like you implied? Especially when other member presented wrong information?
It seems you feel you're the higher authority of this forum who can criticize any posts you don't like even if it's the fact, and set up rules to pick and choose what kind of information we can post! It's your own business if you choose to bury your head in the sand and ignore the facts. But the fact of matter is you have no authority to control what we can post in this forum, especially if it's the fact!
I think it's ridiculous by saying Mazda doesn't want to sell more CX-5's in the US!
When you're interviewing for a sales VP job, try to tell the head of Mazda North American Operations that those damn sales statistics that mean nothing and your goal is to keep the sales of CX-5 staying at the bottom of the list! If you'd get hired the sun will be rising from the West!
That's not the case at all. I have absolutely no problem with criticizing the cx5. I have made my complaints too because there are definitely areas that can and should be improved. So I'm not burying my head in the sand as you put it. You just fail to understand that Mazda isn't going to ever have the sales numbers of companies such as Honda, Toyota. They're a smaller company and they know that. Yet because there sales don't stack up to those larger companies, you think the CX5 and Mazda is a failure.
