MAZDA CX-5 AND MAZDA6 SET RECORD SEPTEMBER SALES

 

IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 1, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Mazda North American Operations (MNAO) today reported September U.S. sales of 23,980 vehicles, representing an increase of 6.7 percent versus last year. Year-to-date sales through September are up 9.3 percent versus last year, with 240,953 vehicles sold.

 

"The past two years have seen a September sales month without the Labor Day holiday, which can present a challenge for our dealers, yet we still reported a year-over-year increase," said Ron Stettner, vice president of sales, MNAO. "Sales growth continues to be the product of strong dealer support and SKYACTIV Technology, specifically the quality, fuel efficiency, technology and value found in Mazda3, Mazda6 and CX-5."

Good to see Mazda succeeed.  The Mazda3 is pricier than its competitors.  I'm sorry to see the Mazda5 canceled in the U.S.  I don't like the current version, but I would've considered the redone model if they were to bring it here.

If you remove the Mazda 6 and CX-5 Mazda is really on decline. False numbers as they need to correct their family of auto's to keep sales growth rather than just focus on 1 or 2 auto's.

I think they are stable for now. Waiting to see what happens in the future. Not looking forward to a future of Camry and Camry clones. Ughh.
