Golf is Europe's top seller once again
Wolfsburg, Germany – According to market analyst Polk Marketing Systems, the Volkswagen Golf is once against the most popular car in Europe, regaining the top of the registration statistics for Western Europe in the first half of 2004 and increasing its lead by a greater margin in the second half.
With approximately 569,000 registrations between January and December, Golf was about 72,000 units ahead of its nearest rival. The statistics include the two- and four-door hatchback, estate, and sedan. The most popular car until 2001, the fourth generation model lost the top spot in 2002 and 2003, while the fifth generation regains the title. In Germany it has been the number one, unchallenged, for decades; the German Federal Bureau of Motor Vehicles and Drivers reported approximately 226,500 registrations for 2004. This gives Volkswagen one in four car sales in its segment, or 27.2 per cent market share.
