  1. Sales for the Mazda 6, the mid-size sedan from Mazda drops 46.1% in April 2009 and drops 46.4% in sales comparing the first four months in 2008. It order to increase the sales, more Mazda rebates should be expected.
  2. Despite the decrease of 12.6% of the Mazda 5 in April 2009, the year-to-date sale is only down 4.9%.
  3. The Mazda Tribute drops 68% year-to-date sales, and drops 57.6% in April 2008. As a compact SUV being released back in year 2000, despite some minor and major changes and tweaks, consumers would want to buy a totally re-designed car. When is the rumored 2011 Mazda CX-5 available?
