Scratchy – I was referring to LeftLane’s single largest market in terms of where our audience comes from. But yes, China is the largest auto market right now.

@vicdub: I thought the same thing at first, minus the conspiracy theory. How many legal millionaires are there in SA compared to let’s say, less than legal millionaires? Ha I know I’m stereotyping, just having fun.

It’s a trap setup by the International Anti-Narcotics Unit led by the DEA. They know that whoever buys an Aston Martin in Santiago is high up in the drug trafficking business. All vehicles are equipped with GPS tracking systems. Drug lords will hide no more.

Believe it or not, about half of the traffic on LLN isn’t from North America. Obviously we cater the majority of the articles for the N. American market since that is A.) Where we are based, and B.) It is the single largest market… but we do like to take care of our other readers, too.

I agree with HMD,

Although Im happy for Aston Martin that they are still expanding in this ever diminishing global economy, what does this have ANYTHING to do with us?
