New car sales in Poland are down 9% year-on-year in August to 20,710 registrations, bringing the year-to-date total to 213,299 units, up 3% on 2011. Note that from 2012 onwards commercial vehicles are included which explains the total sales discrepancy with 2011 Polish BSCB articles. The Skoda Octavia is in pole position again with 1,002 sales and 4.8% share, up 16% year-on-year. Its 2012 year-to-date total stands at 11,991 units and 5.6%, also up 16% on 2011. The Toyota Yaris climbs into 2nd place this month, a position it had not held since March 2010 and only its third time at that level in the last 4 years! It sells 664 units for a 3.2% share and ranks #4 year-to-date at 2.5%.

Honda Civic

The Skoda Fabia is back up one spot to #3 with 511 sales and 2.5%, down 15% year-on-year and still well below its 2012 year-to-date level (3.4%). The Opel Astra is down 2 ranks to #4, ahead of the Nissan Qashqai, stable at #5, the VW Golf up 5 to #6 and the Dacia Duster down one to #7. Notice also the Fiat Ducato up 6 to #8 and the Honda Civic brilliantly breaking into the Polish Top 10 at #9 thanks to 405 sales for a mighty 2% market share vs. #23 and 1.1% year-to-date…
