http://www.copenworld.com/files/news.gifThe Guardian reports (http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2009/dec/04/uk-car-sales-smmt) today that new car sales increased by 57% in November compared to a year ago.
This is attributed to a combination of the scrappage (http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/BuyingAndSellingAVehicle/AdviceOnBuyingAndSellingAVehicle/DG_177693) scheme and the upcoming rise in VAT (http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/vat/forms-rates/rates/rate-changes.htm), plus the fact that the economy was still heading in a downwards direction a year ago.
It's just a shame that Daihatsu isn't currently capitalising on this situation by importing new cars into the UK.
