The Slovenian car market is down a worrying 15% year-on-year in May to 4,660 registrations, bringing the year-to-date total to 23,347 units, down 14% on 2011. The podium is unchanged on last month, the 2012 year-to-date ranking and the Full Year 2011 ranking: the Renault Clio leads the way with 361 sales and a shiny 7.7% market share, ahead of the Renault Megane at 4.8% and the VW Polo at 3.5%, now ex-aequo with the Skoda Octavia for the third place. Below the VW Golf at #5, the Kia Rio lodges another very impressive month in Slovenia at #6 with 125 sales and 2.7% share.
