And I am not fine with them being fine with my decision lol. Example, so far I love my Mazda and loved the experience. Maybe when it's time to replace the wife's explorer, maybe because I had such a good experience we get a Mazda CX-9 instead of another Explorer.

That is an interesting article. Thanks for the great read!
