Despite the sluggish performance of Israel's economy in 2016 so far, sales of new cars have hit new heights. 25,000 new cars were delivered in May, up 23% from May 2015 and 140,000 vehicles have been delivered in the first five months of 2016, up 17.4% from the corresponding period of 2015, which was itself a record. An examination by "Globes" found that Israel's vehicle market has shown the biggest growth in 2016 of any developed country.
