Very quick update on Iceland for now, I will add more commentary shortly. 560 new vehicles found a buyer in December, bringing the Full Year 2012 total to 8,486 units. Big surprise on top this month: the Kia Cee’d takes the lead with 59 sales and a massive 10.5% market share! It is #4 at 3.3% over the Full year 2012. The VW Passat, Ford Kuga, VW Tiguan and Honda CR-V follow and also excel, while the Full Year 2012 leaders are far down the ranking: the Toyota Yaris is #13 and the Skoda Octavia #20.

Audi Q7

Notice also the Audi A4 up to #7, the Chevrolet Cruze up to #10, Audi Q7 up to #11, Honda Civic up to #17, Ford Explorer up to #18, Hyundai Santa Fe up to #21, Dodge Durango up to #25 and Volvo S80 up to #27.
