The figures have been released from the organizers of the motor show, with the top 10 not holding any surprises. Toyota, as usual, sold more than anyone else, and in fact 25 percent of all sales went to Toyota, almost twice that of Honda, the next in line. Here are the sales figures:
Toyota 9,514
Honda 5,617
Isuzu 4,602
Mazda 3,482
Mitsubishi 3,093
Nissan 2,723
Ford 2,572
Mercedes-Benz 2,060
Chevrolet 1,716
BMW 1,383
However, of even more interest were the figures from the more expensive end of the marketplace:
Jaguar 14
Porsche 13
Rolls-Royce 10
Aston Martin 7
Bentley 3
I must say I find 10 RR’s surprising, particularly against only three Bentleys, a much more superior car in my books. From all these, I will have an Aston Martin DB9 and play James Bond’s all day. No mention in these statistics of MG, as they were not taking any orders, their presence being purely to test the market.
James Bond, I presume!
