Mazda Sales Explode With a Almost 48% Increase in Sales for March
Mazda North American Operations (MNAO), including the U.S., Canada and Mexico, today reported best-ever March sales of 47,206 vehicles, beating its previous March record of 45,892 set back in 1994. The U.S. celebrated its best March since 1994 with sales of 37,742 while Mazda Canada, Inc. reported its best-ever March with sales of 8,108 units. Not to be outdone by Mazda Motor de Mexico, which reported its best- ever month with sales of 1,356 units. "The automotive business is a marathon not a sprint and right now we're hitting our stride as we head into the crucial spring selling season," said Jim O'Sullivan, president and CEO, MNAO. "Our record-breaking sales month for North America proves that we're offering the right vehicles at the right price, driving customers into our showrooms in the U.S., Canada and Mexico."

Mazda's U.S. sales were led in volume by its popular MAZDA3, which reported best-ever sales of 15,606, while the sporty MAZDA6 also celebrated its best-ever month with sales of 9,624 units. The all-new CX-9 seven passenger crossover SUV reported its best month since launch with 2,443 units. The MX-5 Miata posted its best month since March 1997 with sales of 2,281 units.

Overall calendar-year-to-date sales for the U.S. are up 17.5 percent versus last year, with 79,074 vehicles sold.

"We're thrilled to finish our fiscal year on such a high note, leading to our best March in the U.S. in 13 years," added O'Sullivan. "We can attribute these outstanding results to a few key points: first, the CX-7 and CX-9 crossover SUVs are bringing new customers into our dealerships; second, the MAZDA3 continues as our hottest seller, despite minimal incentives and tight inventory; and third, our dealer network is stronger than ever with 673 total dealers of which 52 percent are exclusive."

very interesting. that's a huge increase--the kind you usually see when deep discounts and attractive financing deals are offered. doese mazda have any big promos going that i'm not aware of?

other than that, they have a couple of new SUV models, but the mazda3 is still the big seller (almost 4 years old now), but nothing to account for this kind of sales increase.

i do think mazda is building great cars these days, but i don't think numbers are telling the whole story here. did mazda just have an extremely bad month last march? why are they selling so well when ford (who has the focus and EDGE which share some similarities with the mazda3 and cx-7) is doing so poorly?

CX7 and CX9 didn't exist last year so those sales are additional.

What a joke! There's no record breaking going on here. Sales figures from 1994 wouldn't have included Canada nor Mexico as Mazda Canada was a separate company and Mazda de Mexico didn't exist.
It's Smoke and Mirrors but I applaud them on the 37k compared to last year.
