Car Sales Germany: 2011

To say that car buyers in Germany support local brands is like saying the pope is a Catholic. I mean it goes without saying...so I won't say it. VW had its best market share since 1989, Nissan since 1998 and Hyundai its best ever. The market was strong, up 8.8%.1 VW 687,000 21.6%2 Mercedes 285,700 9.0%3 BMW 257,100 8.1%4 Opel 254,600 8.0%5 Audi 250,700 7.9%6 Ford 230,900 7.3%7 Skoda 142,600 4.5%8
