Chinese expenditure fluctuated between around $80 million and $90 million between 1995 and
2003 before increasing to just under $100 million in 2005. Vietnam was the only country that had a
steady rise, with around $55 million worth of cars sold in 1995, about $70 million in 2001, and
finally just under $80 million in 2005.

The figure for Thailand fluctuated between about $50 million and just below $60 million dollars
until 2001, after which it rose to reach just over $60 million in 2005. Indonesians spent
approximately $30 million in 1995, and this increased by around $10 million over the next four
years and remained at the same level for two years before climbing dramatically to just above $70
million in 2005.
