Social instability in Venezuela has brought the new car market to a standstill, down 90% year-on-year in February to 817 registrations, with the year-to-date total standing at 1,539 units, down 89% on 2013. While car sales figures are a trivial subject in difficult times like these, like in January BSCB can report that only Toyota and Mitsubishi have managed to maintain a reasonable level of sales over the period, with 38.3% and 37% of the market respectively. The Mitsubishi Lancer is the best-seller in February like in January at 24.1% share, followed by the Toyota Corolla (17.1%), Civetchi Pick-up (13%), Toyota Fortuner (12.6%) and Toyota Hilux (7.8%).
