Two BIG Mazda Production Milestones


Recommended Posts

Note: I'd post this in the PAG + Mazda forum, but does anyone read that? Anybody?

 

Mazda produced the 1 Millionth Mazda3, becoming the fastest Mazda to ever reach that milestone. As a question, the press release mentions an AWD model added in the 2007 update. Is that not an American option, because I've never heard of an AWD MZ3.

A Mazda6 rolled off the line as the 3 Millionth vehicle produced at AAI/Flat Rock. The Volcanic Red Mazda6 5-Door is being donated to New Orleans Area Habitat for Humanity to support Hurricane Katrina relief efforts. So, after 2,999,999 MZ6s, MX-6s, 626s, Probes, Cougars, and Mustangs since 1987, the 3 Millionth car rolls off the line. Just a quick calculation, 3Mill./20yrs is an average of 150,000/year. With a capacity of 250,000 cars per year, AAI/Flat Rock historically is horribly underutilized. Finally, with the Mustang & MZ6 AAI/Flat Rock is at capacity, but the MZ6 needs more room and the Mustang is a bit cyclical. Ah well.

Feel free to discuss.
