And here's an neat chart on a sub segment: junior luxury cars.

Speaking of the auto industry, another exciting DISkA report has been published for the Virtonomics Lien realm.  The 9 January 2016 report, entitled "Cities on retail goods of «Automotive goods» category", is a fascinating read on the Lien realm auto industry.  A snapshot of selected data is below:

I've highlighted Tokio.  The market is HUGE, almost 30 billion in sales.  Of the amount, 8 billion is classified as low-competition.

However, autos is a tricky market in Virtonomics.  Due to rare resource requirements and a high cost of materials it is hard for many players to enter the market on the production side.  In that way it's similar to real life with high barriers to entry.

That being said, most of the top players in the Lien realm have figured out how successfully participate in the auto industry. 

I had my four-eyed number cruncher do some extra analysis for players who want to retail autos but cannot crack into the auto production club.

What we found: There are sedans quality 23 on the wholesale market in Uzbekistan for 260,000.  They can be shipped and retailed by the enterprising player in the Tokio market for 400,000-500,000.
