In the artificial world of car sales in this small island state, premium brands reign supreme. Car prices are very high due to the certificate of entitlement (COE) which is bid for. The government restricts the number of certificates available to reduce car ownership and congestion. Therefore, wealthier people tend to win the bids and then buy more expensive cars. This has led to the situation that a marque like BMW can be the best selling and I can think of nowhere else this happens.
Audi managed to drop sales somehow, along with mass brands such as Kia and Honda. Land Rover must be eyeing a top ten spot although that may not quite be possible. It is strange to see RR rubbing shoulders with Alfa on the sales chart, and Mclaren easily outselling Fiat.
The first three columns show 2010 to 2012 ranking, the second column in from the right is increase or decrease, and the extreme right shows market share for the major brands.
