Nissan is out of top 10 for the first time! ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beehive3783 Turbocharged February 13, 2013 Share February 13, 2013 Interesting points to note: - Proton are not in the list. Zero registrations - What is B.M.A??? - I wonder what models Mitsubishi sold since it's half dead already. Probably all are Evos. - I guess the bulk of Toyota sales go to Lexus. So many new Lexuses on the road recently - Saab is dead but still managed 4 units for Jan. Impressive Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Givechance 1st Gear February 13, 2013 Share February 13, 2013 Looks like Mercedes will be number.1 this year? Toyota better start to worry being no.4, out of top 3 position. KIA, Honda, Nissan, Subaru...........seems to be in a shaky position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KIA, Honda, Nissan, Subaru...........seems to be in a shaky position. The middle class will struggle to buy new cars in this COE climate. As for the rich ones, I don't think they give a damn about 90K COE. KIA don't have any new models, Honda's new Civic is hideous, Nissan's Note and Almera don't have the appeal and Subaru? What a hideous Impreza. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benarsenal Turbocharged February 13, 2013 Share February 13, 2013 Still early la. - I wonder what models Mitsubishi sold since it's half dead already. Probably all are Evos. No more Evos already leh. Should be ASX or Lancer ba. KIA don't have any new models Got la. New Sorento. Also will have new Forte coming out soon. BMW a bit quiet this year. Even the 316i also not much publicity.

Impressive You have brought up very good points but unfortunately I only can answer 1: Mitsubshi I believe sold Lancers. If not mistaken it was sold at around $120k+, a fair price bearing in mind COE is at@$90k. Lancers whilst not exactly powerful nor economical, does a decent job esp if you want basic transportation from Point A to Point B. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new Sorento probably too pricey for middle class to stomach. Rich ones won't consider kimchi cars at all. K3 will probably be here only in Q3. It was launched officially only in Q4 2012. Even so, I don't foresee K3 to move much sales unless the COE drops. As for BMW, I've seen quite a few 1 and 3 series. I think they don't need publicity to move the cars.

From their website right now, they only have the Lancer EX in 1.6L (A). Pretty crappy specs if you ask me. 4 speed auto, and front disc/rear drum set up. OMG..
