Where is the top 100? @Øystein
3 Volvos in top 10! The VW Up and Pug 208 doing very well.

It’s just the (actual) top 30, but better than nothing while we wait for the complete list
Up!, Sportage, Outlander and C4 Aircross do really have a good month!
Many thanks for this Øystein, the article has now been updated!
Cheers,
