Up 1 place Developed economies have managed to (so far) soften the impact of the pandemic to their economies, and consequently auto sales have remained stronger.

After spending too much time parsing financial statements, we can confirm only three automakers routinely break out Australian numbers in their global sales figures: Mazda, Mitsubishi and Subaru.
