New car sales in Singapore continue on their precarious run in this start of 2018 with March volume down a steep 18.7% to 7.001 registrations, leading to a year-to-date tally down 20.2% to 17.797 over Q1. Toyota is the most popular carmaker in the country for the second month running and despite a harsh 27% year-on-year decline, but still ranks #2 year-to-dat below Honda, down 39% to #2 this month. Hyundai ignores the surrounding gloom and is up 17-fold (!) on a particularly paltry score in March 2017 to land in third place, it ranks #5 year-to-date (+299%). BMW (+37%), Kia (+13%) and Mitsubishi (+3%) are the only other brands in positive in the Top 10, while below Mini (+123%), Alfa Romeo (+100%) and Rolls Royce (+40%) stand out.
