9th consecutive month of year-on-year growth for new car sales in Slovenia definitely back on track: up 4% to 2,599 registrations which brings the final 2013 total to 50,878 units, up 5% on 2012. Surprise in pole position: the VW Golf leads the Slovenian sales charts for the first time in recent memories with 131 units and 5% share, taking advantage of a particularly weak month from perennial leader the Renault Clio, #2 with 108 sales and 4.2% vs. 7.8% over the Full Year. The Skoda Octavia even manages to rank equal-#2 with the Clio, while the Skoda Rapid makes its very first appearance inside the monthly Slovenian Top 5 at #4 with 85 units and 3.3% vs. #38 in 2013. Other great performers this month include the Fiat 500 up 5 spots on November to #6, the Toyota Auris up 24 to #7, Dacia Duster up 52 to #8, Citroen C4 up 14 to #9 and the Opel Zafira up 24 to #11. Finally, notice the very first Great Wall sold in Slovenia this month, most probably imported from Bulgaria where the brand now assembles.
