IRVINE, Calif., June 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Mazda North American Operations (MNAO) today reported May U.S. sales of 29,731 vehicles, representing an increase of 22.5 percent versus last year. Year-to-date sales through May are up 6.4 percent versus last year, with 130,223 vehicles sold.

"Despite the economy being anyone's guess these days, with GDP down and durable goods orders off, we see consumer confidence looking strong and shoppers turning into buyers, and the proof of this is the results we saw across the industry with May sales," said Ron Stettner, VP, Sales for MNAO.

Mazda6 sales finally up. Every time I see one of them on the road I can't help but think what a nice looking car it is. I wonder how much the diesel engine (if it ever gets here) will help sales. Are there people waiting for diesel availability before purchasing one?

It is a shame that the Mazda 3 and 6 don't sell better. Both have one of the best interiors in their class, both also get good fuel economy and both from what I have read are fun to drive. The Mazda 3 interior theme and style reminds me a bit of BMW, they have a nice modern design theme to their sedan interiors. It is amazing that a Corolla that is awful outsells the Mada 3-1 because I think the Mazda 3 is probably the best small car out there right now, with honerable mention to the Focus.
