Toyota 1339

Kia 671

Hyundai 626

Honda 516

Mercedes Benz 512

Nissan 399

Volkswagen 397

Audi 250

Subaru 212

Chevrolet 200

BMW 199

Mitsubishi 182

Mazda 170

Suzuki 118

 

Audi's aggressive marketing is showing result. It sold 250 vs BMW's 199 only. Mercedes is still way ahead with 512.

VW is also doing very well, just 2 short of Nissan's 399.

Toyota remains the people's choice.

Kia is now No2!

Neutral Newbie

Honda is not selling well..

 

No new models except for Honda CRZ, which I believe only PI will bring in and the facelift Stream

 

Not surprising there are left over stocks in KM warehouse. Some cars with YOM 2007..

Honda sales are dropping. Not solely because of no new models but they are always priced higher than other brands for the same class.

Audi's volume mover is the A4, and A4 alone. But the demand for A4 is darn strong. Also January, they launched the A5 sportback....

 

BMW's volume mover is traditionally the 3er and 5er.... the 5er now waiting for new model launch,... so left 3er to pick up the volume,... most buyers looking at the junior exec prefers the A4 or C class. So, the 3er is in a very unfamiliar territory now. Once a World's best car winner.... now being passed over. Well, it is still a very attractive car. But those looking at this range will tend to go for the A4. It is strange the C class and A4 is outselling the traditionally yuppy's choice. I guess that explains the poor showing. But once the F10 5er is launched, they will get back where they belong... i even suspect the F10 will outsell the E90.

 

VW ... well, almost 200 of the 397 registered are Polos. The rest are made up of Golf, GTi, Scirocco, Passat CC,... and nothing else.

 

Merc has 2 strong volume movers in the C and E class. Plus, the new facelifted S class is selling better than the F01 7 series.

 

KIA has only one model that sells and sells .... Cerato Forte. Now with the Koup, they are doing very very well.

damn happy to see audi climbing up the ladder so quickly~!

 

 

started the white daytime LED light trend.

 

reminds me of the time when BMW's angel eyes were highly sought after too.

the trend died after awhile tho.

Audi's focus on advertising seems to have paid off indeed...They usually sell about 100-120 units every month...for Jan 10 this seems to have doubled to 250..

 

Mercedes is awesome too...512 units is just so amazing..

I think advertising is the side factor.

 

the number one reason is still the innovative LED lights and radical designs

yeah i think it's the advertising/marketing.. see how much they put into ST? they have their own cover in a separate section every Saturday right?

 

they've also engaged alot of PR and Media work, as part of building their name and brand up.
