First country to unveil full August 2013 sales, Iceland is down 7% year-on-year this month to 488 registrations, bringing the year-to-date total to 5,373 units, down 15% on 2012. It’s a rather slow month for the models ranking, with no one shining particularly bright. The Chevrolet Spark and VW Golf share the pole position with 21 sales and 4.3% each, way above their 2013 year-to-date rankings of #9 and #4 respectively. Leader in 2013 so far, the Skoda Octavia ranks third this month at 19 units and 3.2%. Notice also the Toyota Auris back up 9 spots on July to #4, the Honda CR-V up 2 to #5, Mazda CX-5 up 23 to #7 vs. #36 year-to-date and the Mitsubishi i-Miev landing at #9 with 12 sales.
