The top 20 in Norway make for interesting reading. Japanese brands make up four of the top five models, unusual for Europe. Mind you the Auris, Leaf, Qashqai and Avensis all hail from the UK and the Yaris France. US brands only feature twice, which is low for the region.
Some extreme movements of model sales occur here. 100%+ increases and 40% decreases are the norm it seems. The V40 helped Volvo to an increase of 3%, the Leaf enabled Nissan to grow 23%. Meanwhile the Auris was the reason for Toyota improving 7%. Unfortunately, the Golf's +17% could not stop VW falling 7%.
