However, and somewhat later than earlier expected, at long last global new car sales appear to have re-joined the market’s long-term intrinsic upward trajectory 

That’s the upbeat message from AID’s regular quarterly global car sales monitor, showing, to the relief of the autoindustry’s global community, that the previously crisis-stricken global car market has finally put the recent past aside and is again heading into the long-familiar upward direction.

Global car sales, apart from a brief stumble during the height of the recently endured financial crisis, have continued their inexorable climb to higher and higher levels. 

That’s regardless of the altogether different fortunes endured of late by BRIC member countries Russia and Brazil. 

According to AID’s latest snapshot view of global new cars sales, this time for this year’s first quarter, global car sales rose 3.4 per cent to 16.1 million units.
