And it still leads its class YTD, year on year for the past 4 years already.

Indeed

 

[Unobtanium]

Probably because it's the only diesel in its class, more than any other reason.

Nope. Top 3 listed are in the same class and all have diesel option. But most sold are the petrol variants

 

[mazdadude]

WOW! That is +~33% more units sold than the next closest, the Toyota RAV4?

Why are there no Honda's on that list?

Mazda is only really struggling in the North American market it seems. It does well in Asia and Australia. Even in Russia it seems to do well.

 

[dyingquail]

It did OK in the USA with a slight year over year increase. Overall for the month Mazda is down. Man, the 6 is a dog in the sales department.

Aussies are smart

They seem to do alright in Canada (given their relatively niche market anyway).

If we could get all the nice features Mazda offers on CX-5 in Europe and Australia but missing in the US, I believe we can do better!

CX5 with diesel and stick? 6 wagon?

Hell yeah.

 

[ColoradoDriver]

You Aussies have good taste. Look at what's number 1 and what's not on the list. (2thumbs)

 

[jthj]

I think the big issue here in the US is there are so many people only looking at Honda and Toyota.....

I have posted this many times.
For every 3 Mazda 3 that are sold in Australia - there is 1 car sold from all of the Honda family combined. Imagine that.

Interesting list. How could be possible not to see any Honda CRV, HRV or Pilot or not even a Subaru Forester?
Is this list from a reputable source?

It's because the list is for Australia, not the USA. They either have more discerning buyers or they just don't put the brand Honda on a pedestal like people do here in America.

VFACTS comes from Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries. Specific vehicle sales are available via subscription

With the exception of the Pilot which is not sold here, the other vehicles you have listed are just not that popular here at this time.

To be fair, they used to be a good company. 25+ years ago I'd say they weren't terribly different from Mazda to be honest. They used to make small, engaging, fun to drive cars. Then they started shooting more for automotive 'appliances' and frankly, their visual language went down the toilet.

Meh.

Good for them though I suppose. Keying to the bland 'middle' has made them billions of $$ and sales champs.

There is really strong brand loyalty with Honda here. People will do 0 research or cross shopping and just buy Honda. Same with Toyota.
