Thanks to Bruno, I can now give you Historical Data for Argentina spanning 45 years! For 1988 and each year from 1994 onwards there is at least a Top 10 best-selling models ranking.
An Argentina-specific Ford Falcon dominated in the seventies, before passing the relay to the Renault 12 in the eighties. The Peugeot 504, launched in 1969, is the most produced car in the country’s history at 494,693 units and still ranked in the Top 10 in 1996 in a facelifted version only sold in Argentina!
1996 is the first year the VW Gol ranked #1 in Argentina (1987 in Brazil)
Argentinean consumers are big fans of sedans and made the Fiat Duna, a Uno Sedan, their favourite from 1990 to 1995 while the Uno struggled to break into the Top 10… Witness the reign of the VW Gol from 1996 onwards, interrupted in 1997 by the Renault 19 and in 2001-02 by the Renault Clio before the Chevrolet Corsa took the lead in 2009-10…
