Denmark Car Sales By Brand : 2005-09

I'm saying nothing about the 107's grille. You decide

For all you Danophiles out there (is that a word?), another installment. The bad news is the period of '05-'09 was going well until the economic collapse hit in 2009. Going back to 2005 Suzuki was a surprise leader in 2005, but soon retreated as Peugeot wrestled back the lead. Ford seemed to benefit most by the poor sales of 2009 with VW a big loser. I don't know how Honda managed to increase the way it did in 2009, based around the Accord model it seems.

I included some smaller makes at the bottom, including Hyosung, a Chinese brand selling bikes. I assume that is a quad bike registered for the road that gets counted as a car. As this list excludes LCVs, it is the way the Danes catogorise things it seems.

Models to shine: The 107, 207 and 308 went well for Peugeot. Ford had the Fiesta, Focus and Mondeo to spur it along. Toyota had the Aygo, Yaris and Avensis selling well.
