Mazda sales in China down 12.9% in 2012

Mazda’s 2012 sales in China fell 12.9 percent from the previous year to 187,087 units, the company announced. Mazda sold 17,273 cars in China in December, down 26.4 percent from a year earlier, as Chinese consumers continue to shun Japanese cars amid a lingering territorial row between the two Asian neighbors.

The pace of the fall in December slowed a bit from a drop of nearly 30 percent in November and 45 percent in October. Via: Reuters.
