Y&H or east of the Pennines, has BMW doing very well. There must be some well heeled folk in the region. They're very canny in Yorkshire.

The NE is very much working class and new car sales are not that high. It is also where Nissan has a huge assembly plant, yet that didn't stop the brand dropping to 4th. Ford managed a decrease and GM Vauxhall went top.
