For January 2018, Mazda sold more CX-8's in Japan than they did CX-5's (in Japan). They actually sold more CX-8's in Japan than CX-9's in the USA.
They wanted the extra space
Recent Vehicle History:
'18 Mazda CX-5 Akera KG i-Activ AWD 2.5L in Sonic Silver (2018-)
'15 Mazda 6 Touring GJ Series II Sedan 2.5L in Sonic Silver (2015-2018)
'08 Mazda 3 Maxx Sport BK Series II Sedan 2.0L in Champagne (Family)
'06 GM Holden Calais VZ Series II Sedan 3.6L in Quicksilver (2006-2015)
The size of the CX8 is one of the fastest selling sectors in Japan. Preorders were 10X what Mazda had predicted.
Wonder if will canabilise CX-9 and CX-5 sales here when released later this year

It will be interesting to see.
My thinking is may take sales from CX-9 as CX-5 already comes with a diesel

If anything the sleeker design of the 8 may be a tipping point.
