Mazda is very pleased to see midsize success in their home market of Japan. Â The Atenza, which is linked to the 6Â but will not be identical to the second generation 6Â we receive, sold at three times the expected rate in its first month on sale in Japan. Â
Apparently, the 5-door hatch; sedan; and wagon are each making up an appropriate third of the total. Better news lies in the portion of Atenzas being optioned up. Â 60% of the sedans are oh-so-not base models; also true for 50% of the hatches and wagons. Â Amazingly specific data also bears out the distinct colour preferences of sedan; hatch; and wagon consumers, who chose white; black; and blue, respectively most often on the three bodystyles.
