Hi Matt,
This is another Matt from China.
Really appreciate your hard work to put all info into one place and you did a great job!
Few questions: 1. Any info on Chile? We see lots of cars made in China sale in Chile and I am quite interested to see it. 2. Any possibilty to include the price update for each of the car lines? cause it is important to understand the ranking based on the retail price.
Hey Matt from China!
Thanks very much for your praise, I really appreciate it!
All the info I have about Chile is under the Chilean section on the site
And although I would love to be able to include the price of each car in each country this would mean I won’t have time to sleep anymore so perhaps not…
Hope you keep enjoying the blog nevertheless!
cheers
Matt
