Three years of strong increases has improved sales but still well short of the best sales ten years ago. Nissan became the best selling brand in 2008 and have remained so except for a hiccup in 2014. Honda and Hyundai did well but both had poor a 2015. That seems a trend in Cyprus, with big shifts in fortune. One brand that seems to have the benefit of one mainly way shifts is Land Rover, now up to ninth.

In the chart below, pale yellow represents a reduction in registrations, pale blue is increase but lost market share. Green is for those exceeding the market growth and finally the salmon colour for those with over 100% increase.
