Strong performance from Mazda -15/02/2005 The Japanese car manufacturer Mazda has been enjoying good fortune of late. Mazda gained a two per cent market share in January - a success attributed to increased sales volume of the Mazda6, Mazda3 and the B-Series pick-up vehicle. Robust 2004 sales spelt a record-breaking year for Mazda, with an increased sales volume of almost 25 per cent over 2003. The award winning Mazda6 was especially popular last month, with sales up 30 per cent on January 2004. The year-old Mazda3 has also been flying out of showrooms, with 10,900 sales since its launch. Jeremy Thomson, marketing director for Mazda UK, was bullish about Mazda's future. He was quoted by carpages.co.uk as saying: "In the summer, our sophisticated high-performance saloon Mazda6 MPS hits showrooms adding extra excitement to this popular model range. The autumn sees Mazda5, a Multi Activity Vehicle with seating for up to seven people for the C-segment, join the range" "Finally, the much-anticipated all-new Mazda MX-5 debuts at Geneva Motor Show next month and is set to be very exciting," Mr Thompson adds.
