This link will open in a new window Mazda still has the Zoom-Zoom spirit, even as it jockeys for position alongside the top six automakers in Japan. Mazda makes cars, SUVs, pickup trucks, and commercial vehicles. Models sold by Mazda in the US include sedans (Mazda3, Mazda6); sports cars (Miata, RX-8); and pickup trucks (B-Series). Mazda added SUVs and crossovers to its lineup with the Tribute, Mazda5, CX-7, and CX-9. Operating from two Japanese and 14 international manufacturing plants, Mazda sells its vehicles in some 140 countries. In late 2008 Ford Motor relinquished its control of Mazda by lowering its stake from about 33% to about 13%. To read the full description, subscribe now.

Competitive Landscape for Mazda Motor Corporation
Demand is driven by employment and interest rates. The profitability of individual companies depends on manufacturing efficiency, product quality, and effective marketing. Large companies have economies of scale in purchasing and marketing; smaller companies can compete by focusing on specialized markets. The industry is capital-intensive: average annual revenue per employee is nearly $2 million. US-based automakers compete with numerous foreign rivals, including companies such as Toyota, Honda, and Nissan that have extensive auto assembly operations in the US. Through stateside manufacturing capacities and exports to the US, foreign carmakers collectively have about half of the US market. US auto manufacturers' financial positions have deteriorated dramatically in recent years. The "Detroit Three" (Chrysler, Ford, and GM) have suffered from import competition and high cost structures. High gas prices, few small car offerings, and near record-low consumer demand during the late 2000s recession drove Chrysler and GM into bankruptcy, where their debts were restructured. Chrysler and GM also received billions in loans from the US and Canadian governments. Ford, which has joined GM and Chrysler in various government incentive programs but has not received direct federal investment, avoided bankruptcy largely due to more than $20 billion in secured and unsecured loans it took out in 2006.
