As is the tradition on BSCB, each month I share with you the sales of locally produced models provided by the Pakistan Automotive Manufacturers Association, a pretty accurate representation of the most popular cars in the country as imports are very limited. In August the market is up 7% to 11,096 registrations, bringing the year-to-date total to 99,445 units, still down a harsh 16% on 2012. The Toyota Corolla keeps the lead thanks to 2,627 sales and 23.7% share ahead of the Suzuki Mehran (aka Maruti 800) at 2,260 units and 20.4%. The Honda City jumps onto the podium with 1,172 sales and 10.6% just above the Suzuki Ravi up 3 spots on July to #4 and 10.3% share. Notice also the Sigma Defender (aka Land Rover) at #10.
