If the new CX-5 sells exactly like the previous model, lots of people will like the car. Best selling SUV here since 2012

Sorry, Australia does not count, too small of a market! Just kidding by the way. I have heard that Mazda does good sales in Australia. Do Honda/Toyota/Nissan not have a big presence in Australia?
Mazda 3 alone outsells the whole Honda lineup in Australia 4:3 - for every 4 3's sold there are 3 Honda's (Civic, Accord, CRV, Pilot etc. combined) sold.
So pretty fair to say its like comparing Subaru sales in US to Mitsubishi's.
Sadly this is American market we are talking about - average American has zero knowledge about cars and buy whatever family recommends. The percentage of folks with less dough wanting to keep up with the Jones's have gone up - as reflected in sales of Nissan, Kia and Hyundai.
In a country where Rogue is #1 selling non Truck there is not much hope for Mazda. I predict 150K in sales. A healthy number and a jump from last years model.

I don't think the latest gen Honda CR-V has been released in Oz yet. I'm guessing when it's released it will be more appealing than the old generation. That aside, it seems Aussies are more focused on the driving experience rather than just plain simple utility than their US cousins?

Last time I looked the CR-V was like 7th in rank in Aus.
Have yet to see one here either yet which is surprising to me because Mazda is very popular here. There are 3 CX5s in my work lot daily. A 4th yesterday. The really dark blue one. So dark, I thought it was black at first. Sweet color.

Hey Jon.NY, one of your pictures has made it to Mazdas24/7 Facebook page!
For sure!
No doubt the Mazda SRC is a head turner.....but do you reckon anyone would have stopped to comment on this in SRC!?

Don't forget the tent option.
You know it's all about the red, don't you 8?!
I presume that's a page run by the owner of this forum?

Any Mazda with red metallic paint pops out. It's the most beautiful red color I have ever seen on the road.
Someone stopped me yesterday coming out of the liquor store, and appeared to be waiting for me to return to my 2017 GT. Before I could open the door, he asked if that was the new CX-5. He said it looked different and thought the color made it look amazing. He shot off a few questions about it and if I've ever seen the face of envy, that was it. I think people are really liking the new styling. I've never driven a new car that made people really ask about it before. The crazy thing is stepping inside the new GT with the premium package, just... has everything you'd expect a BMW or Audi to have.
AGREED! I've washed it at least once a week since I've purchased it. I also discovered Meguiar's Xpress Synthetic Spray Wax that I use as I'm drying off...and she looks phenomenal!
