Swiss new car sales stabilise in April: down just 2% to 28,397 registrations, which brings the year-to-date total to 100,148 units, down 7% on 2012.

The Golf now also frankly leads year-to-date with 3,785 sales and 3.8% vs. 3,157 and 3.2%. Similarly to Austria, Switzerland is now warming up to the new generation BMW Series 3, up one spot on March to land on the podium at 605 units and 2.1% and now #4 year-to-date vs. #18 in 2012…
