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.

But the best performer this month is the BMW 3 Series, boosted by its new generation and up 6 spots on April to #9 with 119 units and 2.6% while two months ago it wasn’t even in the Top 70! It is now #31 year-to-date at 233 sales and 1%. Other great performers this month include the Citroen Berlingo up 14 ranks to #7, the Mercedes B-Class up from outside the Top 50 to #15, the Fiat Panda up 30 spots to #20, the Citroen C4 Picasso up 22 to #21 and the Peugeot 208 up 12 to #22.

    With many new advancements for the 2012 model year, it’s really of no surprise for me to see the new 3-Series in the top-10 list of bestselling luxury sedans.
