Many thanks to Alexander for the data!

Good month for car sales in Norway, up 5% at 11,737 registrations and bringing the 2011 year-to-date total to 102,895 units, up 8%. The VW Golf unsurprisingly keeps the lead with 608 sales and 5.3% share, ahead of the new generation Ford Focus at 440 units and the Nissan Qashqai at 430 sales, both at 3.7% share. The VW Passat is down 3 spots to #5 and 2.9%.

Mitsubishi i-MiEV 

Volvo shines and places the V70 at #4 with 372 sales (3.2%, #7 year-to-date), the XC60 at #8 (2.6%, #19 YTD) and the V60 at #9 (2.1%, #13 YTD). The Mitsubishi ASX has the first month off of its Norwegian career at just 107 sales (0.9%) and #35. It is however still #3 year-to-date at 3,264 sales and 3.2%.

Notice the Mitsubishi i-MiEV up to #17 with 165 sales and 1.4% share, the BMW X3 up to #24 at 133 units and the Peugeot 308 up to #25 at 121 sales.

    The story of Renault in Norway is tragic they went from selling 5,000+ cars in 1990′s to only 600-700 per year now.

    The Alfa Giulietta has been a certain success all over the world. It´s Alfa best selling model by far. even in South Africa and Australia it sells about 40 per month.

    Interesting to see the Alfa Romeo Giuietta doing quite well at 335 sales so far this year.

    3rd place has to be the best performance for the ASX in Europe, even if it has been quite successful for Mitsu. It will be interesting to see what will happen to it after its French ” siblings ” go on sale.
