Performance Model Breakdown has been added to my first post. A bad result this month for the Mazda3 MPS.

Also, Black is still the most popular colour....

Good to see you're finally onto the right colour Rino!

[PerthMPS]

Even tho not good for Mazda I like the fact they are not overly common. Although as mentioned previously there are 4 others in my very near area.

I'm surprised the ralliart lancer is such a poor seller.

[blackbetty]

Im surprised the MPS isnt selling better ... but nice to see that black is most popular

Now just imagine if you had a sexy MPS6 to swipe off the sales from that hideous Liberty

[240MPS]

I was also told that some dealers are surprised to even see the MPS3 still coming into Australia because of Sales, they were on par to MPS6's sales at the time and that there was talk of stopping the 3 as well..... Hence the reason of stock hold some dealers are to frighten to take stock in... Some have no balls or don't have know how of selling up......

[Nirvandan]

Not good Rino, I hope Mazda gives the MPS3 more time and bring the Gen III before pulling out the plug, hopefully this time they will bring out something that can compete with the GTI and Subaru..., i wouldnt worry about the XR5 in the future, the new one looks like

I would tend to think the runaway runout sales on the XR5 and the launch of the new WRX are leaning performance buyers towards those two, hence the lower numbers for the MPS and Lancers

Also there have been a lot or GTI's and R's ordered recently which will be delivered in Nov/Dec (8 R's just in WA on the one boat!!! there are another 5 boats due over the next two weeks with similar quantities!!! and that's just R's in WA)

Mazda need to hammer up some new advertising and/or pricing/spec levels to make the MPS more desirable as it would be a shame for it to dissapear from our market!
