ND Sales to Date
 

Wrong forum? Maybe, but there seems to be some interest here... this is FYI.

Mazda MX-5 Miata Sales Figures - GOOD CAR BAD CAR

interesting, keep in mind that the ND arrived earlier this month, so i'm not sure its even been out for 30 days yet.

NC sold 16k in 2006 and it also came out in July so hopefully the ND will do even better.

The 1000s special edition red cars are sold/spoken for so that's a start.

The August #s will say a lot. Fingers crossed :icon_tup:

Some good news.

Jesus wrong thread please delete

August #s are not bad but also NOT GOOD. Next test will be 2016 #s. Will it out sell the NC which sold 16k in 2006. Fingers crossed but not holding my breath.

Would love to see it sell 30k or so units and then I think there would be strong hope for another RX7 :nod: My prediction though is 10k or less US sales in 2016 or in other words it's a flop :( Had they given this car some balls/power with a stiffer susp etc.... I think it had a chance but as is it's just another neutered miata.

Mazda MX-5 Miata Sales Figures - GOOD CAR BAD CAR

the ND is a couple seconds faster around laguna than the NC, the NC is the neutered one.

Guess which car was the slowest this year at the lighting lap (16 mx5 3.21) and which one was the slowest ever at the lighting lap (06 mx5 3.29) What's really sad is they tested a 2015 honda fit for giggles and the 06 miata time was just 8 seconds faster. For those that don't know the track is 4.1 miles long LOL

The 1st sentence of the review: "Think of mazda's affable roadster as Snuggle, the giggling fabric-softener bear, in the form of a sports car."

WOW

AMAZING

10 years later and they gained a couple of seconds ;)

lol, right out of the box, with a neutered car isn't bad at all!

What's not bad is the new z06

The miata is well a miata and I guess that's the only benchmark that those in the miata world care about.

Meanwhile other makes and models are moving right along and SELLING!!!!!

What's your prediction on miata sales? Even 15k units would suck.

If we go by the sales average of YTD 5128 units, that is 641 x 12 = 7692 total for the year.
Now, that really sucks bad.
With approaching Winter, I think the sales for a convertible will slow down.
I don't think it will go higher than 8K units.
Like Fritz, I wish this car sells big, but I have no hope now.

Keep in mind that most on the sales floors at the moment are Autos.
Mazda told the dealers the manuals are having issues and have held up release of them.

We should have our 2016 ND in a week. Its been on order for months..

NICE

Hopefully lots of people want this car and 2016 sales are HUGE :icon_tup:

if we sold the old integra race car (PTE lap record holder!), we'd be buying one.

other than that i will have to ask the marketing department, i was just sort of hoping the ND did well so we could have a cool car.

The ND cups look cool. I'm sure you guys will have a blast racing it :icon_tup:

this is from april... @:042 you can see the ND pass our Spotter/Werkshop NC.

This.

I swung by Malloy earlier in the summer to grab some parts from Ray and he mentioned that they really weren't moving many of the NDs. I looked around and they were all Auto's, I sure as hell wouldn't buy an AUTOMATIC Miata!! :lol:

That being said, if my financial situation were improved (or does improve) by this time next year, I'd ABSOLUTELY consider buying an ND as a fun DD :nod:

Hell, there's a 95% chance I'll be living back in town Fritz, if I end up getting one you'd be more than welcome to snag it for a week to make a judgment base on more than just reported numbers ^_^

That might explain why we have been waiting so long!

We already have our EFR ready for it, its going on the first week we get it...

You trying to be the first person in the US to break an ND tranny/driveline Elliot??? :lol: :)

Hope to see you back in town :icon_tup:

Why would I drive a miata of any sort when I have an FD :egrin:

because its got a bigger trunk?
