The Icelandic new car market is up an impressive 55% year-on-year in 2012 to 8,486 registrations, still far off the record 20,875 cars registered back in 2005. For the first time since 2008 and the 5th year overall, the Toyota Yaris is the most popular model in Iceland thanks to sales up a huge 144% on 2011 to 523 units and 6.2%, boosted by the new generation of the model and its hybrid version. Leader in 2011, the Skoda Octavia is down one spot but up 57% to #2 at 495 units and 5.8%. The VW Polo is also down one rank to #3 with 354 sales and 4.2%.
