Scottish car sales are included in the UK figures, but looking at them separately does show up some differences with the rest of the nation. For a start GM Vauxhall is top here, while second nationally, the reverse being so for Ford. Renault managed 5th spot in Scotland for 2011 but 11th overall for the UK. BMW is 4th in the UK but only 8th in the land of the tartan. Premium brands are not as strong here, especially BMW and Mercedes. Sales have been down 5% for the past two years, but I don't have figures before that.
To show all this and more is the chart below. The first column is the Scottish ranking, followed by brand and sales. The last number in brackets reveals the ranking difference with the UK to Scotland. A plus figure means stronger in Scotland.
1 Vauxhall 24976 14.9 -8% (+1)
