Yes, the new month is already here and as always Sweden is the first country off the rank with new car sales figures for July already available. The market is down 8% year-on-year this month to 18,076 registrations, bringing the year-to-date total to 160,709 units, down 9% on 2011. The Top two most successful models stay unchanged: the Volvo V70 is on top once again with 1,134 sales and 6.3%, just above the VW Passat at 1,038 units and 5.7%. The Kia Cee’d impresses and manages to climb onto the Swedish podium with an excellent 751 sales and 4.2% share thanks to the new model…
