Germany Car Sales By Brand : 2000-04

The Skoda Octavia of 2004

Car sales in Germany reached about as high as they go around the year 2000. Mercedes had now established itself ahead of Opel, and BMW finally slipped past Ford, with Audi very close. German owned Skoda was on the rise.

Of the European imports, Renault was king, with Peugeot behind but improving sales. MG Rover and Land Rover were no longer owned by BMW, so any local support because of that evaporated.

For the Asian car makers, Toyota made strong gains, as did both Hyundai and Kia. Daihatsu's days were numbered however.
