Last year I visited Armenia where they also import a lot of second hand Japanese cars. I found this suprising as they drive on the right, and due to their proximity to Europe, I assumed importing cars from there would be a lot cheaper.
Does anyone know why this is the case?
- adventured 9y agoExtraordinary volume in the sub $35,000 bracket. Europe's auto money makers are Germany's ~$35,000+ vehicles from BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, Audi. Toyota, Honda, Hyundai (SK), Mazda, Suzuki, Kia (SK) and Nissan combined dominate the mid cost or lower vehicle category at massive scale. Volkswagen has been battling Toyota for the total sales crown, however Asia has a bunch of other companies competing at high scale in that bracket as well. I don't know what the volume comes out to, but I wouldn't be surprised if Asia is selling more than 2/3 of all cars in that segment globally.
