Trawling thru the local motor industry’s financial results is never very exciting, but there is a stand-out profit performer. Carsales.com reports no less than a 38 percent net profit on sales for FY2011. The company is growing at over 20 percent and dealers contributed the lion’s share at over 40 percent of its total income.

Just when you thought fashionable women were locked in as the main buyers of SUVs comes some startling statistical data. Business buyers are now big drivers of the vital Compact SUV class, pushing it to close on traditional passenger cars. Big winners include Hyundai ix35, Mitsubishi ASX, Nissan X-Trail and the Ford Escape.
