Sun not setting on Toyota Hilux sales any time soon, with 3100 of them sold in November.
Vehicle sales continued to buck economic trends in November, with Naamsa's sales figures showing a total tally of 53 636, which is a 7.3 percent jump over November last year.
Naamsa attributes the surprisingly strong industry performance to historically low interest rates, strong replacement demand and a highly competitive trading environment.
However, a slowing economy and inflation (including that of vehicles on the back of a weaker rand) could put pressure on vehicle sales over the medium term.
Looking at the sales figures for individual models (which is missing the usual non-reporting culprits like Hyundai, Kia and Mercedes-Benz), Toyota's Hilux and VW's Polo Vivo continue to dominate the proceedings, but Toyota's Etios is gaining ground - it having broken through the 2000 barrier for the second month in a row.
