What’s behind the trend? Honda/Toyota’s CR ratings dipped (presumably) because of major redesigns/new releases. Mazda, barring from the I6 and SkyActivX, has been using the same 2.0, 2.5, 2.5T + 6sp for how many years? Why the drop-off in CR ratings now?

This doesn’t fit the narratives:

• Honda lost their ways
• Mazda eclipsing Toyota
• Hyundai killing it

Unless its name contains the letters: CX
