Mazda was up 4.2% in May versus a year ago , its best May in 12 years. Despite the announcement of an all-new Mazda6 in just a few months the Mazda6 sales were UP 9.1% for MAY
Mazda3 up 30% with Mazda5 up 49% Even CX9(+29%) and TRIBUTE9+13) were both up. CX-7,RX-8 and MX-5 all down. RX-8 just 309 sold and MX-5 down to just over 1300 That CX-7 number could see a turn around if the rumors i hear about a non-turbo engine being available soon are true. MNAO is up 1.9% for the year to date. http://sev.prnewswire.com/auto/20080...3062008-1.html |
The Mazda6 is a great vehicle. My daughter's '02 still impresses me in its bang for the buck. Her 4-cyl is fuel efficient yet cruises nicely at highway speeds.
Wow, the RX-8 certainly is a niche car. No wonder I rarely see another (which is a good thing). :) |
release the Mazda 2 in the NEAR future as gas is approaching $5 a gallon and see what happens to these numbers!!

Since it tends to attract relatively knowledgeable owners I'm sure a lot of them know the '09 is a new generation with a small facelift and were waiting on it either to reduce the price of new '08s or to get the '09 itself. Or I just tell myself that to make myself feel confident that Mazda will keep making us rotaries. :UNCLESAM: |
