United Arab Emirates 2011: Toyota reigns, FJ Cruiser strong

Toyota FJ Cruiser in Dubai, July 2011

I was lucky enough to stopover in Dubai over the weekend so I can update you on the Emirati car market. Toyota looks like it is still leading the way by a very large margin there, with the Toyota Corolla, Camry and Land Cruiser likely leaders, and the FJ Cruiser and Prado strong contenders…

Nissan Altima in Dubai, July 2011

I have also noticed a large amount of Nissan Altimas on the streets, with the Nissan Patrol and Armada strong sellers too. The Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pick-ups seem to do well, the Gulf region being GMC’s only overseas market.
