5. iCarAsia | Malaysia


Malaysia-based automotive marketplace iCar Asia this week jumped to the head of the pack in Thailand with the acquisition of one of the country’s largest vehicle classifieds sites, One2Car. The latter will be combined with iCar Asia’s native Thai website, ThaiCar, which the firm acquired earlier last year.
