New car sales in Latvia are up a very healthy 13% year-on-year in May to 1,289 registrations, which brings the year-to-date total to 5,969 units, up 21% on 2013. With a small market comes a volatile models ranking and this month is no exception, apart from the VW Golf holding onto the pole position for the 2nd month running thanks to 49 sales and 3.8%, and now #5 year-to-date vs. #1 over the Full Year 2013. The Skoda Yeti is up 2 spots on April to #2 at 43 units and 3.3%, followed by the VW Passat and Nissan Qashqai, both down one notch. The VW Jetta is up to #8 vs. #16 year-to-date, the Ford Fiesta up to #10 vs. #51 and the Peugeot 208 up to #11 vs. #34 while the Toyota RAV4, leader so far in 2014, is down to #12.
