As a traditionally strong user of re-exports, Lithuania is logically caught into the pre-WLTP stock clearance game more than its Baltic neighbours, with August registrations artificially up 58.5% year-on-year to 3.308 leading to a year-to-date tally up 32.2% to 22.049. The Fiat 500 is up 144% to an out-of-this-world but totally artificial 23% market share vs. 14.3% so far in 2018, the Nissan Qashqai is up 349% to 8% share vs. 3.3% YTD and up from #8 to #5 in 2018, the Fiat Tipo is up 800% to 7.1% vs. 5.6% YTD, the Fiat 500X up 233% to 4.8% vs. 5.1% and the Toyota Auris up 96% to #5 vs. #9 so far in 2018.
