I am fortunate enough to have just had a holiday in Barbados.

 

Our hire car was a Suzuki Swift and virtually all of the cars on the road are Suzuki, Hyundai, Kia, Toyota etc.

 

I noticed that in the entire time I'd been there I'd not seen any VWs until parking up in the airport to come home I spied one very old Jetta.

 

Apart from that 1 VW, I saw 1 Audi and no Seats. Skoda were rather better represented with a couple of Favorits, a couple of Mk1 Fabias (and about 5 or 6 more in a scrapyard), a couple of mk1 Octavias and 1 mk2 estate.

 

My cousin pointed out that she'd not seen a single Fiat, though I had spotted one Alfa Romeo so Italy was (just) represented.

 

I'm not surprised that the far eastern manufacturers have got virtually all of the market, but I was really surprised that I didn't see a single Golf

In Barbaros, as with many such locations, much of the population need basic, cheap and robust transport and not an urban status symbol that VAG specialize in hence less of a market for Golfs and it clones and therefore the Barbados residence choosing more affordable boxes to drive their short distances.
