60 Million Cars Were Added To The World's Stock In 2011

We had spotted multiple stats on auto, including the total number of cars in the US and the world's best selling small car - we spotted this today:

"Nearly 60m new cars were added to the world’s stock in 2011. People in Asia, Latin America and Africa are buying cars pretty much as fast as they can afford to, and as more can afford to, more will buy."

In fact there are many more stats on that economist post around cars in OECD.
