Full Year 2007 New VW Retail Sales Results via vfacts
good to see some figures here, mate ! The surely don't like the Polo here very much, that's for sure ! I wonder why that is ... I am also wondering if the Jetta is not "stealing" the Golf's position in the market.
Do these figures include vans and utes? If so, Fiat seem to be getting a few of their vans out there and what about the Proton "Jumpbuck"?
Also, we have to be careful to distiquish between sales growth and market share. For example, a manufacturer who sold 200 vehicles last year and 1000 this year shows a 500% growth while it may only have 0.01% growth in market share. (Just made these numbers up guys....don't quote me )

It's definitely market growth and not market share that we're talking about here and the total figures do include Ute and Van sales.
Fiat's sales are usually evenly split between the Punto and the Ducato Van. Fiat is now selling around 140 units a month, small I know, but things are only starting to get better for them, with the release of the new Ritmo - Golf sized car, in the next 6 months.
"Ritmo" is what the new Fiat Bravo will be called in Australia.
Proton sold only 54 Jumbuck Utes, but last month sold more car's than what Renault did!!
