A New Departure for the Crossover SUV

This time on the show, the MAZDA CX-8. 1 month from launch in Japan in December 2017, over 12,000 orders have been recorded, exceeding the monthly sales target by 10 times. What sets it apart is that it's a crossover SUV, but with the same three-row seating as a minivan. Among its buyers, people in their 30's or younger account for 40% -- prominently young families. The CX-8 was created with a new strategy. SAMURAI TEAM gives it a chance to prove it has the right stuff. In addition, a report on a legendary car collector who owns more than 250 domestic and foreign rare and famous cars. Navigators: Ukyo Katayama (Racing Driver) Peter Lyon (Chairman of the World Car Awards, Motor Journalist)
