Yes likely just getting used to these type of vehicles. Affecting Mazda 3 sales is a possibility I never thought of because of just how odd I found the appearance of this CUV, not as odd/ugly as the Juke say, but definitively a disconnect for me from viewing the photos, reading the review versus seeing in person. Apart from the subjective take on the looks, I think it is a great little vehicle to drive and time will tell on the market.
