Mazda Motor Corp says their profits are up 29% over July-September of last year.
Sales are up on its small cars in North America and other overseas markets.
The Japanese affiliate of one of America's Big Three - Ford Motor Co had a net profit of Y26.6 billion ($230 millionish).
The Mazda group operating profit was up 1.5% to Y40.8 billion ($340 million).
The Mazda3 is selling well in Canada, Australia and Israel.
Mazda still expects to make Y85 billion and a group profit of Y160 billion for the fiscal year ending next March.
Sales - Y3.3 trillion ($29 billion).
And Ford accountants will go hmmmm....
Why can Japanese carmakers make money but their American counterparts cannot?
