Kuwait Sales : 2017

Sales 2017

The town Kuwait started out as a fishing village but gradually grew from that. Oil being discovered in the late 1930's changed things enormously. About 4 million people now live there, mostly Arabic or Asian ethnically.

Toyota as usual for much of the world is the big brand, with nearly 30% share. Otherwise, no brand stands out markedly. I've colour coded the list by region of origin for

Poland Car Sales : 2016-17

Sales 2017

Sales here have been growing nicely for a few years now, with the total into record territory. Consecutive increases of 17% isn't shabby. Škoda is the leading brand and slowly building its market share. Otherwise sales have a stable feel about them, with nothing drastic happening with individual brands.

Subaru Car Production : 2016/17 (April-March)

tháng 3 03, 2018

•

Sales 2017

Subaru is a small brand and especially so in its home market. It survives by being different and sales in the North American market. More recently Toyota taking a share has and will be a major benefit too. So how are things going? Sales were up 11% in the March to April 2017 period compared to the previous equivalent time frame.

For years Subaru sat on the mid to high 500,000's and then moved

Sales 2017

Holiday anyone?


This island in the Caribbean is an overseas region of France so I assume sales here may be included in the total for France but I am unsure. Maybe a reader could clarify this. Anyway, the nearly 400,000 inhabitants bought well over 16,000 new cars, up 3% on 2016. The top four brands are French owned so no bias there. Toyota jumped three places with a 22% increase in sales. BMW

Sales 2017

Sales for the first six months contracted 2.3% but for the year it was down 6.1%. In 2016, it 10.5%. Chevrolet is the big brand in Colombia and has been for some time. The Chevrolet Spark model is the best selling model, followed by the Chevrolet Sail.

GM has lost some market share while Nissan at #3 is up 15% from 7.2 to 8.8%. Hyundai has had a bad run in recent years but is making a

Mexico Premium Brand Comparison : 2017

tháng 2 15, 2018

•

Sales 2017

This is not a country with a huge premium segment. For example Canada was 33% larger for all sales but premium sales are nearly 280% larger. That's hardly surprising due to the difference in the economies but it does prove a point.

If we first look at premium sales minus the big three, there isn't much happening here. 11,000 units is tiny, with Acura jumping into the top spot, vacated by

Jaguar Sales By Selected Nation : 2017

Sales 2017

The title including the word selected actually means those I have statistics for. That is 97% of the total I must say. I wrote just over a week ago to Tata asking if they wanted to reveal more data, such as sales by nation and I got no reply, and if you don't get an answer within a week you probably won't, I took that as a no.




The increase of 20% was down to the new F-Pace SUV, the company's

Land Rover Sales By Selected Nation : 2017

Sales 2017

Again the term 'selected' relates to what I found, with 93% accounted for. It would have been nice to get that up a bit higher but fro a few Middle East nations, it would have been. Total sales were up 2%, not huge but it was expected as a year of consolidation took place.

The most colourful list on the internet is full of interesting pointers. Asia/Pacific is salmon, The Americas purple,
