New ZEAland must be one of Volkswagens smallest markets in the world.
Even Australia does a lot more volume in a month compared to what they do in a year...

[linds]

did they have commercial figures available??

[Bug_racer]

You have more chance of seeing an exotic VW/Audi than a run of the mill one !
Commercials should be fairly high since there are a lot of motorhomes running off LT vans and Caddys .

That's more because the market in Australia is 10 times the size of the NZ market in the first place. In terms of market share, they're about at the same level that VWoA is at, Audi and Skoda have bigger market shares here than in Aus. Our market is smaller than Australias, because aside from population, most NZ cars are lucky to do 100,000 km in 5 years.

Apples with apples.

No Commercial vehicle figures by model, but 381 VW Commercials were moved last year, 3 down on 2007.
