New car sales in Singapore are down 2% year-on-year in May to 2,143 registrations, bringing the year-to-date total to 9,897 units, up 4% on 2013. Up another splendid 78% on May 2013, Toyota/Lexus stays in the lead thanks to 479 sales and 22.4% share and is now also #1 year-to-date at 1,872 units and 18.9%, up 75% on 2013 and just two sales above Mercedes (+9%). Toyota dominated Singaporean sales charts for a decade up until 2011 when BMW grabbed the top spot, kept it in 2012 before passing the relay to Mercedes in 2013. Could 2014 be the year the Japanese manufacturer reclaims its throne? Further down the ranking, notice Mazda up 150% to #6, Subaru up 220% to #11 and Alfa Romeo up 350% to #21.
