New car sales in Singapore are up 21% year-on-year in November to 7.494 registrations, marking a slowing down of the explosive growth this market has shown all through this year: the year-to-date tally is now up 58% to 80.715. Honda is on the verge of a historical win in the brands ranking: thanks to sales doubling year-on-year in November (+99%), the Japanese carmaker increases its advantage over traditional leader Toyota in 2016 with 17.917 deliveries (+161%) vs. 17.083 (+60%). Mercedes (+26%) and BMW (+22%) evolve roughly like the market this month, but Nissan (-22%) and Mazda (-43%) fall heavily. Notice also Mitsubishi (+76%), Kia (+51%), Porsche (+170%), Chevrolet (+62%) and Opel (up 19-fold) all posting spectacular gains.
