Mercedes is No. 2 seller

MERCEDES-BENZ has emerged as the second-best-selling car in Singapore - thanks to a smaller supply of certificates of entitlement (COEs).

In the first five months of the year, 1,913 new Mercedes cars were registered, making it the most popular after Toyota, which still holds a comfortable lead with 3,958 cars sold.

The German brand has traditionally taken fifth or sixth spot in the sales tally.
