Just in off MMAL website:
"Mitsubishi Motors has maintained its market share in an extremely tough April auto market, while the 380 continued its gradual climb in the Large Car segment by recording a significant jump in market share from 10% to 12% during the last month.
In a market that was down 10% on April 2005, and 21% on the previous month (March) Mitsubishi managed to increase its market share by 0.5% compared to April last year. In a Large Car segment that fell 32% from the previous month, 380 has defied the trend and has continued to build its share of the segment against competitors that recorded losses as high as 53%"
Mitsubishi President and CEO, Mr Robert McEniry, announced a revised range and prices for 380 last week, and said that the immediate increased consumer interest and showroom traffic generated by the changes showed that this action would help 380 maintain its month-on-month improvement in a very tough market.
Other highlights for April for Mitsubishi were the 85% increase in sales of its Grandis people-mover, and the continued sales performance of Triton 4WD utility when it recorded a further 20% increase year-on-year. This increase in sales has been driven by the introduction of the sporty GLX-R model that was conceived in Australia..."
Don't have official figures yet, though I'm sure someone here will dig'em up eventually. Good result all things considered:) , though I believe in terms of raw vehicles registered the number will be down on March. But I'd be interested to see what the vehicles sold per day ratio is, given April was a shorter month, had 5 weekends and more public holidays than March.
Great result for Grandis too... if I ever start a family that's what I'll get (if it were a family of 6 or 7 of course!lol )
At the time 380 was released the target percentage for market share was 13%, so given the difficult climate I think 380 may be able to survive without going anywhere near reaching its raw vehicles sold target. Could easily exceed that 13% too:P
