SA's Top Selling Cars

Are South Africans just unaware or is our recession not that bad? Naamsa reported that Sales for the first five months of 2009 reflect a 35,8% decline over the same period last year. New vehicle sales in May accounted for a 32,9% drop over May 2008. Even though care sales HAVE indeed gone down a whole lot, the rankings are still rather baffling, the stunning yet overpriced new C-class is the 4th most selling car??? It can't be all that bad then hey..or is the list usually even more extravagant?
