AUTO ALERT: Cars to watch in second half of 2015 - Malaysia Chronicle
PETALING JAYA - You could be the person to bump up car sales as we rush headlong into the second half of 2015. And the Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA) will thank you for it. Every car out of the showroom counts as passenger car sales in... The MAA has forecast total industry volume to record its lowest growth in five years in 2015 – a measly 0. 5% to 670,000 units from the 666,465 units achieved last year. Vehicle sales in the first half of 2015 fell 3. 3% year-on-year to 322,184, mainly due to subdued business optimism and moderation in consumer spending as a result of the economic uncertainties and increased cost of living. Manufacturers were busy launching new models in the first half of the year – among them the updated Perodua Myvi, Mazda2, Honda HR-V, Peugeot 308, Nissan X-Trail, Ford Mondeo, Subaru Outback, Toyota Camry Hybrid, MINI John Cooper Works, Audi TT,... The MAA remains optimistic that vehicle sales in the second half of the year will be better. As the car-buying public waits with bated breath, CarSifu lists the range of cars to watch out for from now till the end of the year. Source: www.malaysia-chronicle.com
