-Among the top-five best-selling vehicles across all categories, the Mazda3 enters a fourth generation around June and Toyota will bolster its new-generation Corolla range with a sedan body style in the final quarter as the hatchback is now kicking off its first full year of trading after the Gen XII model was launched last August.
