Latest SMMT report (November car sales in the UK) says:
• New car registrations fell 36.8% in November to 100,333 units.
• Year-to-date volume is down 10.7% to 2,023,104 units.
• Diesel market share achieved record high of 47.0% in November.
• Private market particularly weak in November, down 45.1%.
According to their spreadsheet, MINI sales fell
58% compared with a year ago, to only 1723 units. I hope the rest of the world market has been better for MINI
But also, the above data suggests that MINI may be making a big mistake if they do delay launch of a diesel R57 until 2010, as is strongly rumoured.......
