South Africa the fourth largest market for AMG-SALES Globally
Key market, cult cars
Despite soaring interest rates and strong Rand depreciation against the Euro, South Africa remains the fourth largest market for AMG-badged Mercedes-Benz products globally.
They sold 4 169 AMG cars here between 2001 and 2007.
Not surprising to see AMG heavyweight executives on the trackside then.
They even flew in Formula One safety car driver, Bernd Mayländer dURING THE C63 Market Launch, who scared us stupid around the track in his lightweight C63 display car - featuring no less than four, full-bucket race seats with four-point harnesses.

What are the other 3 above that? I assume USA would be #1. How does Russia qualify? I see a ton of those out there when I travel that area on business... I don't know about AMG, but for Mercedes-Benz they must be up there somewhere...
