Peugeot is up a flamboyant 78% in third position, distancing Nissan (+14%) and Suzuki (+50%) while Volkswagen crumbles down 28% to #6, The models ranking returns to “normal” also with the Toyota Yaris in the lead (+53%) above the Opel Corsa (+26%) while the Fiat Panda surges 158% to #3. The Opel Astra (+65%) and Peugeot 108 (119%) also post spectacular gains, but none as outstanding as the Peugeot 308, up 7-fold on April 2015 to #13. The Suzuki Baleno starts well at #36 with 89 deliveries.
