Car Sales Israel: 2012

Israel had a reasonable year, with a -9%, one of its best years ever however. Mazda was the best seller here for years but has fallen to 6th in two years. It had over 18% of the market as recently as 2009, but now just above 5%. Hyundai has taken over where Mazda left off, now well ahead. Ford had a cracker of a year, as did Kia and Skoda. MINI's sales were pulled this year to be incorporated in BMW's figure. Daihatsu was listed earlier in the year, then also taken off. Were they then added to Toyota?
