Interesting, I don't think the new 6 is selling as well as expected, I personally think the new model is a little ugly in the back end, it just does not seem to match the rest of the cars styling....almost looks like it is off another car, particularly the sedan.

Mazda Australia are continuing to have record sales months, June was another one, mainly due to the 148% increase in Mazda 2 sales of 1500 units...

I wonder how the new 8 are going, give it a few more months and you will see huge price drops in the RX-8...I am talking $5000.

Just out iof interest, where can you find say monthly sales figures for a particular car make and then break down by models. For example, where could see monthly sales for Rx8's in Aust? or Mx5s? MPS3s etc?
