They're shifting as many New Beetles (Cabrio + Normal) as Polos for gods sake!

We're just replacing a Jazz (wife's commuter car) with a VW, and would go straight for the Polo TDI except that there is no auto offered. So it's a Golf for us! There may be a few polo sales missed because of that hole in the range.

^^VGA have admitted that to be a flaw, seeing as though factory does not produce auto TDIs in that variant VGA have no choice

Go the Golf... nice to see the Polo holding up as it should too

Volkswagen and Audi are both kicking butt in terms of sales growth on the Australian market.

April 2007 Sales:

Audi - 603 units
Volkswagen - 2,041 units

Y.T.D = Year To Date: Volkswagen sales are up 49.4% and Audi sales are up 41.1% so far for 2007.

Whats interesting, is that there is only two other car makers that are outperforming Audi and Volkswagen in sales growth for the first 4 months of 2007, one is Proton, who's sales are up 59.8% and the other is Fiat, who's sales are up 123.6%!!

Heres what Audi sold for April 2007:

A3 - 132
A4 - 193
A6 - 37
A8 - 7
TT - 96
A4 Convertible - 19
Allroad - 9
Q7 - 110

Total - 603

good to see some figures here, mate ! The surely don't like the Polo here very much, that's for sure ! I wonder why that is ... I am also wondering if the Jetta is not "stealing" the Golf's position in the market.

Do these figures include vans and utes? If so, Fiat seem to be getting a few of their vans out there and what about the Proton "Jumpbuck"?

Also, we have to be careful to distiquish between sales growth and market share. For example, a manufacturer who sold 200 vehicles last year and 1000 this year shows a 500% growth while it may only have 0.01% growth in market share. (Just made these numbers up guys....don't quote me

)

It's definitely market growth and not market share that we're talking about here and the total figures do include Ute and Van sales.

Fiat's sales are usually evenly split between the Punto and the Ducato Van. Fiat is now selling around 140 units a month, small I know, but things are only starting to get better for them, with the release of the new Ritmo - Golf sized car, in the next 6 months.

"Ritmo" is what the new Fiat Bravo will be called in Australia.

Proton sold only 54 Jumbuck Utes, but last month sold more car's than what Renault did!!
