The Aveo is by far the most popular vehicle in the country so far in 2013 at 7,167 units and 10.9% vs. 4,687 and 7.1% for the Mitsubishi Lancer, down to #2 this month but still extremely robust at 8.7% share. The Chevrolet Cruze is up 12 spots to brilliantly round up the July podium with 520 sales and 6%.
