In the Far East, Greater China (China, Hong Kong and Taiwan) has consolidated its growth levels with almost 400 cars delivered (+10 per cent). Markets in the Middle East continue to expand with 190 cars delivered (+7 per cent).

However, as a result of the financial crisis and the introduction of new taxes, sales in the Italian homeland dropped to 187 cars, a drop of 164 compared to the first half of 2011.
