Greece Top Models : 2001

The Opel Corsa had a 150% increase in 2001

Looking at models that exceeded 1,000 sales for the year, we see 55 made the cut. The columns are clear but for a few points. The cars are shaded blue or salmon, depending if they are associated with Europe or elsewhere. The +/- is percentage up or down, green or yellow to accentuate that. The M column is movement, up or down, again with green or yellow but also stayed the same purple.

Opel went from 4th to top brand, Hyundai dropped a place to 2nd. Fiat held on to 3rd, Toyota dropped two positions to 4th and VW displaced Citroën when it took the 5th spot.

Four models exceeded 10,000 sales, down from the seven in the year 2000. The Opel Astra went top despite a slight drop in sales of -2%. The Hyundai Accent fell two places and went back 9%. Another Opel, the Corsa benefited from a new model being introduced and jumped 18 places.

Denmark Pick Up Sales : 2015-19

Somewhere in rural Denmark...

Vehicles are very expensive in Denmark and pick-up trucks would be very pricey. I assume cashed up farmers would be the most likely candidates. I don't get many visits from Denmark but if anyone knows anything about this, please leave a message.

The leading model has become the Ford Ranger, jumping two placings in the process. The Hilux was finally pushed into second spot while the VW Amarok was third. Mercedes-Benz' tried its luck and its effort here wasn't bad. However, as far as pick-up trucks are concerned, it is now beating a hasty retreat out of this sector. Ram has done well here, which surprised me.
