“These figures show new car sales continue to outperform other economic indicators, including retail spending and business investment,” FCAI chief executive Andrew McKellar said.
“Much of the strength of the market can be attributed to the affordability of new vehicles, evidenced by the healthy sales to private buyers (up 9.6% in November),” McKellar added.
Year-to-date, 948,987 vehicles have been sold, an increase of 11.8% compared to the same period in 2009.
“It is now clear that total sales for 2010 will safely exceed one million units – only the third time this will have been achieved,” he said.
