MARKET REPORT

Bestsellers of 2008
   Author: Chips

The Myvi is the best-selling model in Malaysia, accounts for 51% of Perodua sales

New Saga has boosted Proton sales substantially this year, accounting for 43% of all new Protons sold

Insufficient supplies of Saga have prevented Proton from catching up with Perodua so far. In 2009, perhaps the gap will narrow.

Data excludes commercial vehicles such as lorries, panel vans and buses

1: Bestselling hatchback, 2: Bestselling sedan, 3: Bestselling MPV, 4: Best-selling pick-up, 5: Bestselling SUV

Suzuki is the most improved brand this year, rising 6 positions and increasing sales volume by 143%, thanks to the locally-assembled Swift

Mitsubishi Triton and Isuzu D-MAX continue to be almost matched in sales

New Honda Accord bumped up sales volume of the model significantly this year

Grand Livina is Nissan's best-selling model though it has not managed to get near the Toyota Avanza
