Adrenaline Sales And Performance Combined In Mazda CX-7

"However, our overall retail sales are up year over year and we nearly beat last October's sales, thanks to another dramatic monthly increase in CX-7 sales, which are being driven by strong media praise and consumer enthusiasm."

MNAOs combined Canada and Mexico operations reflected brisk sales in October. Mazda Canada Inc. (MCI) reported 5,978 sales, which reveals an 8 percent increase. Consequently, Mazda Motor de Mexico, which started last October, sold 804 units with just 10 dealerships.
