SG: Toyota top of sales chart
Toyota retook the top spot as the leading manufacturer among parallel importers after the 1st half of 2013, with BMW and Mercedes settling for 2nd and 3rd respectively. The last time the Japanese giant took P1 was in 2010. The top PI model is the Toyota Estima, with 101 units registered, ahead of the second placed Toyota Alphard/Vellfire at 78 units. The BMW 5 Series settles for 3rd at 70 units, the Mercedes E Class and C class takes 4th and 5th at 52 and 27 units respectively. According to The Business Times, the increase may have been influenced by MAS' announcements, with individuals self-importing the luxury models to curb the progressive taxes and loan curbs.

SG: Fire breaks out at Borneo Motor's Bodycare Centre
A fire broke out at Borneo Motor’s Bodycare Centre at roughly 11 am today. The SCDF received a call at 11.09 am and dispatched three red rhinos, two fire bikes, one fire engine and two support vehicles to the scene of the inferno. The flames were extinguished within 15 minutes through the use of two water jets and compressed air foam.
According to the SCDF, the fire was triggered by a short circuit in a spray paint oven, where cars are "baked" after paint application. Before the police had arrived, staff and clients were already evacuated, although a few stayed behind and used fire extinguishers in an attempt to control the fire. A spokesperson from Borneo Motors said that this is the first time such an incident has occurred, and the damage was limited to the spray paint oven. There were no casualties from the fire.
