This is just another reflection on what is currently happening in the vehicle manufacturer race for supremacy, this even though Toyota is also busy with a huge export drive on Hilux Bakkies.

What is a reality and eye opener, Suzuki third, Haval climbing fast, past Nissan, Ford Eight, Isuzu dwindling but waiting for the imminent Launch of the new bakkie.

Martin, Isuzu only sell a bakkie & an SUV, so they can't compete with guys like Toyota with 16 different models.

On bakkie sales only, Isuzu's old, out of date, D-Max, long overdue replacement, has outsold the hapless Ranger for the past 3 months in a row.

Suzuki is doing extremely well because they sell good vehicles that are all in the price bracket South Africans can afford - the sub R600k bracket.

Jaguar, Land Rover, BMW, etc don't sell any vehicles in the sub R600k bracket where most sales occur...

Manny, true, however it still shows Toyota is well spread across the spectrum, same as Ford, Nissan, VW.

Also, Ranger sales have slowed due to the new T6.5 model coming, buyers are waiting
