@Pedro

@Miguel Figueira

And i like VW-Cars, for me they are not boring at all

Tasts are different.

@Jenifer Mendoza
I do not like VW Cars. They are quite boring.

Hi again, I own statistics about commercial vehicles in August in Spain, If you want I share them with you but I don’t know how. Do I post the data here or send to an e-mail?

@matgasnier

Hi Matt, you’re right. It’s supposed to be an incorrect definition in the german statistics, they even put the Highline-Amaroks in the LCV-statistics while other countries obviously put it in the passenger cars list (54 units).

Hi, I think it’s hard to make a statistic like this because some countries like mine (Spain) don’t separate the “street” versions from commercial versions. For instance: Kangoo, Berlingo and Partner are great sellers and many of them are “street” versions but I think all of them only count like commercial.

It’s a pity not to have homogenic statistics in all countries.

But thanks for your work, it’s very interesting.

Wow those cars make me drool!This is the awesome Volkswagen Polo car.New generation,new design.Those who love Volkswagen Cars would surely grab this model.Thanks for sharing this post to us.

Hi Matt, absolutely fantastic statistics, great job ! Just one correction: 54 VW Amarok can’t be true. In january i emailed the german car statistics office (fahrzeugstatistik@kba.de) to figure out how many Amarok have been registered in germany in 2010 (because it’s not listed among the normal passenger statsitics). I was told, that 1.634 units were sold/registered in 2010 in germany.

It’s very interesting that!
But they forgot a few other models in some countries (for example the pick-up in France: Toyota Hilux: more than 2500 units, Mitsubishi L200 and Nissan Navarra: about 1,600 units respectively, etc …)

In Switzerland, there are Toyota Sienna, the Honda Odyssey, US models (4×4, big MPV, etc.), etc. ….
