Mazda vehicles have been well known in North America since the introduction of the popular Mazda RX-7 in the late 70s. So when you think about Mazda cars, you would more likely envision Whitten Brothers Mazda in Richmond, to go test drive the latest Mazda model, then envision a Scotland.

After working 10 years on the project, Dealer group Eastern Western opened the first Scottish Mazda dealer in Edinburgh last year, near Murrayfield International Rugby Stadium.  Eastern Western's location is now one of the top three Mazda dealers in the United Kingdom.

As Mazda's Dealer Principal John La Trobe explains "One trend we have identified is that Mazda customers are very loyal and were absolutely delighted to have a new Mazda outlet in such a prime spot"."Mazda UK is also a great company to work with - always ready to listen and provide help when they can. Now with the upgraded Mazda3 on the way and then a whole new range of SKYACTIV models starting with MAZDA CX5 in the spring. I really think our second year as a Mazda dealer will be exciting and see us continue to grow and develop this new business."¹

Looks like Mazda is in good position to become the car of choice to get the rugby match.
