Car sales in the Netherlands are up 25% in 2010 to 484,432 registrations. This year 2 Volkswagens swapped leadership: the VW Polo is the best selling car in the country for the first time in the nameplate’s history with 18,964 sales (3.9%, +228%), replacing the VW Golf, best-seller in 2009 and #4 this year.

Even though they launched 5 years ago with a mild restyling last year, the ‘Kolin sisters’ (Peugeot 107, Toyota Aygo and Citroen C1 built in Kolin, Czech Rep) improved further on their outstanding performance in the country. The 107 is #2 overall at 17,971 sales (+89%!), the Aygo is #3 at 15,057 (+31%) and the C1 is #6 at 11,565 (+51%): the 3 models sold a total of 44,593 units or 9.2% of the Dutch market and +55% over ’09  (28,733 sales and 7.4%).
