At 3,832 registrations, the Venezuelan new car market in March amounts to double the January and February scores combined and a 129% year-on-year gain, clearly showing signs of recovery. However this sales figure is still 68% below March 2013 indicating the crisis is far from over in Venezuela, and most of this sales surge is due to the return of Chevrolet at 1,771 sales and 46.2% share this month vs. just 115 across the first two months of the year. Accordingly, the American manufacturer monopolises the Top 4 ranks in the models ranking, placing the Silverado (previous gen) at #1 with 13.2% share above the Aveo at 12.7%, Spark at 7.5% and Cruze at 7.4%. The Dodge Forza rounds up a Top 5% 100% USA.
