Those would be the figures for November.

Would be interesting to see how Hyundai/Kia and Mercedes Benz are doing.

Surprised the Korean cars are not featuring

Yeah you'd think with some of their crazy waiting periods they'd be well placed in the top ten.

It's depressing to see the Etios sell in the volumes it does. What a vapid, horrid little box on wheels.

Or... it might be because they don't report detailed figures to NAAMSA.

 

[Gert.M]

Yep, that is correct.

I wonder if these stats include fleet sales for rental vehicles.

They do.

Well their distributers do not disclose their sales figures but looking at the amount of them you see on the road theres no doubt they are in the top ten

 

[KhoisanX]

Other than Hyundai/Kia and Mercedes Benz not reporting their sales figures it's worth noting how manufacturers report these figures, e.g. VW. From the above VW reports the Polo Vivo and Polo Vivo sedan separately, it would easily be in first place if they were combined.

The C-class has also consistently been in the top ten.

1. Toyota Etios 2 132

I can't believe people actually spend their hard-earned money on this fugly POS.

Then again why anyone would spend money on any Toyota in this day and age is beyond me....overpriced and overrated vehicles with outdated styling.
