Not so great news coming from Romania in October: the new car market is down a harsh 18% year-on-year to 5,594 registrations, bringing the year-to-date total to 46,667 units, down 17% on 2012. Below the Dacia Logan solid at 17.9% share, the Dacia Sandero lodges another very impressive score at #2 with 344 sales and 6.1%, its 2nd month above 6% share whereas it had not reached that level in 4 years beforehand… The Skoda Octavia and Dacia Duster exchange spots vs. September but the Duster remains above the Octavia year-to-date at #2. The culmination (?) of almost one year of steady growth, the Skoda Rapid breaks into the Romanian Top 5 for the very first time at #5 with 195 units and 3.5%. Notice also the Dacia Dokker up 6 spots on last month to #6, the Renault Captur shooting up to a best-ever #15 and the Lancia Ypsilon up from virtually nowhere to #26.
