Replying to: tourist1292 (Aug 05, 2009 8:54 am) Mazda has the same problem. There is no inventory of the Mazda5. This is the second year in a row that the demand is greater the the supply. I have a 13 person wait list for a Mazda5, and I have not been able to order 2010's yet! |

Replying to: tourist1292 (Aug 05, 2009 8:54 am) Location 1 (50mile radius): 2009 Mazda5s available: 11 2009 Rondos available: 22 Location 2 (50mile radius): 2009 Mazda5s available: 8 2009 Rondos available: 12 I do believe it is not a low supply, but maybe the new KIA line-up attracting some of the Rondo's target market buyers: the Soul and the Forte (especially the Soul as a 5-seater "wagon"). KIA as a brand is doing well, just some of its models didn't |

Replying to: coolmazda5 (Aug 05, 2009 12:15 pm) So what do you think? Our Mazda5's are not cars but are not really mini-vans. They are not SUV's because they do not classify as that type of vehicle so therefore they do not come standard with privacy glass. Most people call them wagons but they raise contraversy because it has slider doors like a mini-van...which is not, and now the government for the sake of CFC categorizes it a cat1 truck...WTF! So our Mazda5's can be a car, a mini-van, an SUV, a wagon, and now a truck...lovely!! Man, talk about Mazda making a ripple on a calm pond....and I love it! |

Replying to: tourist1292 (Aug 05, 2009 7:44 pm) Oh well, I hope the Rondo and the Mazda5 stay in the KIA and Mazda line-ups in the US for the next generation, competition is always healthy (those KIA numbers don't help today though, the Rondo is just ahead of the Borrego and the Amanti in numbers for July 09)

Replying to: coolmazda5 (Aug 04, 2009 4:59 pm) Rondo: 979 ('08 - 1,066) YTD: 5,848 ('08 - 6,236) Mazda 5: 1,017 ('08 - 1,162) YTD: 5,709 ('08 - 9,010) I guess it won't be too long before we start finding out about the 2010 models, usually in Canada its late August or early September. |
