RICHMOND HILL, ON, Oct. 2, 2018 /CNW/ - Mazda Canada Inc. (MCI) today reported September sales of 6,101 vehicles, representing a decrease of 11.3 percent versus September 2017. Year-to-date (YTD) sales are 58,786, which is an increase of 3.1 percent compared to the same period in 2017.
Mazda Motor Corporation last month announced it lost 67,000 units of production due to heavy rains and flooding in Hiroshima, Japan, in July that forced them to temporarily suspend vehicle production.
