Mazda record sales /exports etc Also BSegment leak
ok so ive been sort of collecting these links the last couple of days
first http://www.just-auto.com/article.aspx?id=90265 best year for Mazda since 91/92 with domestic production up 8.6%. The Hofu plant made nearly 500,000 vehicles up 1.7 percent year to year. They are really cranking them out there running 24/7 even thru some holidays. Exports up 18.3% for the year next : Mazda see highest growth of any Car company in the UK. In the 5 years since Mazda took control from the previous importer to the UK they have increased sales 250%. They passed 50k sales for the first time ever and have taken a 2.11 market share. they get the CX-7(with a manual tranny option) later this year AND the Bsegment leak In the summer, Mazda will start producing the all-new Japanese-built B-segment model. “I’m really excited by the prospect of our new B-segment model,” enthused Lindley. “If we can repeat the performance of Mazda3 market share with this new model, then this alone would add 10,000 units to our annual volume. We won’t expect to do that in the short term, but this car is going to be a real winner for us and it does show that the potential for further growth is definitely there.” Mazda top seller in Israel- again:) http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/817019.html Which car was the most widely sold in the Israeli market in 2006? The same one that was most widely sold in 2005 and 2004: the Mazda 3. And the most widely sold brand? The same as in 2005, and during the last eleven years: Mazda. How has one brand managed to dominate the vehicle market for so many years? |
