Despite a useful increase for the year, sales are still down a long way from the heady days in 2008 when over 88,000 cars were sold; 2010 proving to be an annus horribilis.
Opel lost its top spot to VW, with a drastic swing in fortunes for each brand. The overall market was volatile generally.

1 VW 5,100 12.3%
2 Opel 3,950 9.5%

Total 41,560 7.7% increase.
Good gains for VW (+20%), Peugeot (24.8%), Skoda (+29>2%), Citroen (+38.1%), Kia and Dacia both (+30%). Poor results for Opel (-15.5%), Suzuki (-16%), Mazda (-27.3%), Fiat (-20.8%) and Mercedes (-28.9%).
My guess: A modest gain at best for 2012

Car Sales Croatia: 2011

A car market down 24.5% is the Croatian one, a common result in 2012 for many Euro nations. Opel was the top brand just two years ago in 2010, having been in that position since 2004 when it took over from Renault. This year Opel slipped a place to 3rd and Renault two places to 5th. The two Korean brands yet again did well, I really don't think they are that good.
Overall looking at the chart, it is somewhat erratic as to how car brands fared. The first two columns show 2011 and 2012 ranking, the second column in from the right is increase or decrease, and the extreme right shows market share for the major brands.
