Report: Indonesia will be ASEAN's leading automotive market

Reports from Paultan.org said that a country like Indonesia is set to become ASEAN's number one automotive market, overtaking Thailand because of the recent Thai Flood disaster since October.

New vehicle sales in Indonesia for the first 11 months of 2011 has been peaked to 17%, about over 800,000 units sold. Some say that Indonesia will be the safe haven for Japanese car factories and serve as an alternative to the flood-stricken Thailand.

The Philippines often sourced Japanese cars from Thailand but could we consider a country like Indonesia to source some Japanese vehicles? Not sure but be patient...
