Mazda sales soar
Sales of New Zealand assembled Mazda 626 cars rose 77 per cent to 2873 units last year, compared with those in 1983. In the same period the New Zealand passenger car market grew 30 per cent. The 626 was voted the best imported car in the up to 1800 cu cm capacity class in a poll conducted by the West German motoring magazine, “Auto Motor und
Sport.” The 626 scored twice as many votes as the runner-up in the reader poll. The Mazda 626 won with 32,560 votes. Then came to Citroen BX (15,354 votes), the Alfa Romeo 33 (14,645), Lancia Delta (11,234) and Fiat Ritmo (8059). This award was also won by the 626 in 1984, when it received 28 per cent of the votes cast.
