Wow! Big numbers for VW last month - In total 249 VW hot hatches!!! (almost 10% of their total volume) That's a lot of hot bratwurst burning up the roads, soon they'll be as common as WRX's!

Dare I say, the XR5s seem to be selling like hot cakes too!

I wonder with the low MPS3 sales, whether this is due to people holding out to see what the new model brings?

Would this be considered normal when others release new models?

I just don't think there are many, if any left in stock!

Only 10 actually.

Lets hope that when the new MPS3 lands Mazda do some aggresive advertising.....and they get plenty of stock in.
