With great interest I read an article in the latest edition of the Swiss economic newspaper "Handelszeitung" on the recent development of the registration of new cars in Switzerland. The article is titled "One winner for each three loosers" ("Auf drei Verlierer gab es einen Gewinner").
One statement struck my eye immediately:
".... In terms of percentage the absolute winners in 2009 were two exotic brands: Morgan (283%) and the luxury brand Infinity by Nissan (274%). ..."
Out of curiosity I mailed to the editor, 'outed' myself as a Morgan owner and asked if they could provide me with further details and statistics about the registration of new Morgan cars in Switzerland. To my surprise I received an answer within no time.
Here are the data:
