sales spread out amongst many brands.
Another good sales month for Everest, imagine sales with new body and V6 diesel.

For the Chinese Sales thing, I think your bang on.. I saw a report that there was a ship with 4000 odd MG's on it that arrived and Chinese car co's are making there own semiconducors. It seems MG and the like are one of the few that don't seem to be having stock issues at the moment, unlike everyone else, which helps with numbers. Not to mention, if you needed a new car, and didnt care too much about being a brand snob, but could get an MG Tomorrow, versus a 6 month wait for the equivelant Hyundai/Kia/etc what would you do?

I wonder if the CRV is still using the K series 4 cylinder that appeared in the late 1990s.
The last good car Honda sold was the 2nd generation Accord Euro. |
Thankfully the K Series that was in the CRV (K24) is no more. When the current CRV was released 4-5 years ago the very base one got the 2 litre N/A and the rest got a 1.5 Turbo 4 cyl.
