“The mid-size pickup truck segment has been revitalized, and the main culprit is the all-new Chevy Colorado, said Akshay Anand, senior analyst for Kelley Blue Book Insights. “With the Colorado arriving at dealer lots, consumers have been researching the new model quite a bit, as the mid-size truck segment combines open-bed utility with good fuel efficiency. Shoppers are also coming from multitudes of segments when shopping mid-size trucks, which isn’t always the case with full-size trucks.

Mazda’s CX-3 was one of the highlights of the L.A. Auto Show, and the CX-5 and CX-9 are benefiting from the buzz, as consumers are researching Mazda’s SUV/CUV portfolio. If the CX-3 can replicate what the CX-5 did, Mazda is going to have yet another huge traffic and sales year in 2015.”
