Mazda's entire range has been claiming awards non-stop if my recent memory serves correctly. Remarkable praticality, unique design, and extraordinarily great handling tends to do that for a manufacturer. Here, you'll get a quick once-over of the CX-5 from the boys at Mazda themselves. If it's anything like the outgoing model, expect to see this model year at the top of its class in most categories. With looks like this, we won't mind seeing it on the covers of magazines -- or the streets, for that matter.
