I know you love your Mazda, but they definitely don't dominate the field. In 2019 the CX5 was outsold by (in order) the Rav4, CR-V, Rogue, Equinox, Grand Cherokee, Escape, Highlander, Wrangler, Cherokee, Explorer, Outback, and Forester.
I don't mean numbers wise. I mean at the price point for what you get, although I do think the new Forester is very nice inside, the lack of the 2.0T leaves it as one of the most boring on-road options. Highlander is more like the Edge. Outback with the upgraded engine is a solid call if you like CVT's. Grand Cherokee...no. It's not in the same league as the others unless you like repairs. The RAV4 has been a massive swing and miss according to pretty much everyone, but the Prime might be its redemption. The Equinox is okay. Wrangler is the same size, but really not the same type of vehicle.
Sales doesn't determine domination in my book, or I'd have to say that the Rogue is one of the best CUVs, and just no...I don't think ANYONE would make that claim.

Fair enough, I thought you were talking about dominating the market sales-wise.
No, absolutely not. Sales numbers don't matter to me when I consider a vehicle. I've bought some pretty low production cars, and some mustang/trans am level cars. I don't care one bit, nor would I try to use that as a selling point really, unless it was a older beater and I was considering junkyard take-off availability (for that, dude...Honda and Nissan i4 engined vehicles...or crown vic, ROFL!)
