I'm surprised how poorly the Mazda 6 is selling. Perhaps if they made allocation of their V-6 models a lot bit easier, life would be better.
And I hope the Accord surprasses the Camry of course.
And you spelled "tomorrow" incorrectly.

AcuraFanatic, I agree about the Mazda6 statement. I think people who would consider the 6 are probably more into sporty car and they would probably prefer the V6. If you don't car about the performance of the car as much, there's no point in getting the 6 when there's the I4 camry and accord that has much better interior quality.
I think the Camry and Accord will go at it for a while to come. Both are great cars and people who buy them are pretty loyal to the brand.

Thanks to 98CoupeV6 and Kazi for the sales figures, I look forward to this every month. It seems Toyota can do no wrong and Honda is not far behind. Look at those Camry, Accord, Corolla and Civic sales go and probably at the expense of the Big Three too. Does anyone know, in overall sales for 03 how close are the Accord and the Camry? As much as I don't like the styling of the new Accord, I'd love to see it outsell the Camry.

At this rate, this time next year, Toyota will probably be the highest selling brand. And Toyota as a whole might be #2 considering they already over took Chrysler for #3 spot and how fast Ford is sliding. Honda will probably over take Chrysler as well.
