CHERRY HILL, N.J., Dec. 1, 2006 -- Subaru of America, Inc. November sales jumped nine percent over the same period last year totaling 15,800 units for the month. The Subaru Legacy, Forester and Impreza all posted double digit gains. Subaru total sales are up two percent year-to-date from the previous year.

 

Subaru sales were boosted in November when the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety awarded the Subaru Legacy, Forester, and Tribeca Top Safety Pick designations for their crash protection in front, side and rear impacts tests.

 

“We saw an increase in both dealer and web traffic after the IIHS announcement,” said Tim Colbeck, Vice President, Sales, Subaru of America, Inc. “Subaru received the most IIHS Top Safety Picks of any brand and because safety is so important to our customers, the market responded positively to this news.”

 

The Subaru Legacy was up 19 percent posting 6,550 units in November, with Subaru Outback posting 4,531 units of that model line total. Subaru Forester posted 4,215 units up 13 percent from the same period last year. Subaru sold 1,202 units of the Tribeca mid-size SUV during the month of November, while Baja posted 413 units. Subaru Impreza continues its banner year recording 3,420 units, a 27 percent increase over the previous November.

 

"The full line up of All-Wheel Drive Subaru vehicles continues to be recognized for their uncompromising safety, outstanding reliability and exhilarating driving performance," said Colbeck. "Subaru is on track to set its fourth consecutive all-time sales record this year."

For an intresting comparision below is Mazda's numbers...

 

Mazda has the most cars in my opinion that compete with Suby's cars and to me their overall line up seems to be doing quite strong...I can't get over how may Mazda 6's and 3's I see in comparision to Legacy's and Impreza's...and the CX-7 is killing the B9

 

IMHO the reason why is because their incentives are strong and they actually have lease plans on the Mazda 6!!! Legacy and lease are something that is never in the same sentance...oh except the 42 month OB lease! 42 months for a lease:lol:

 

CX-7 and MAZDA3 Lead the Way to Double-Digit Increase -

IRVINE, Calif., Dec. 1 -- Mazda North American Operations (MNAO) today reported sales of 20,792 vehicles for November 2006, a 16.7 percent increase versus last year. Mazda also reported a 4.1 percent year-to-date sales increase versus the same period last year, with 248,874 units sold through November.

"As fuel prices remain unstable, and we move into the winter season with its associated higher heating costs, customers are choosing fuel-efficient new vehicles that fit a broad spectrum of lifestyles," said Jim O'Sullivan, president and CEO, Mazda North American Operations. "November was a tremendous month for Mazda and we look forward to continuing our strong sales momentum through December."

Mazda's all-new CX-7 crossover sport-utility vehicle (SUV) continues its strong sales surge with 3,654 units sold. With a starting MSRP of $23,750, CX-7 features a turbo-charged 2.3-liter four-cylinder direct-injection gasoline engine that produces 244-horsepower, yet still delivers an estimated 23 mpg in combined city and highway driving.

The innovative MAZDA5 multi-activity vehicle also finished the month with solid sales of 1,513, more than double its sales performance the previous year, and triple its sales performance on a year-to-date basis. The wildly popular MAZDA3 once again proved to be Mazda's volume-leader, with sales of 6,673 units despite a continued lack of inventory.

Headquartered in Irvine, Calif., Mazda North American Operations oversees the sales, marketing, parts and customer service support of Mazda vehicles in the United States, Canada and Mexico through nearly 900 dealers. Operations in Canada are managed by Mazda Canada, Inc., located in Ontario, Canada, and in Mexico by Mazda Motor de Mexico in Mexico City.
