Now the KBA has the statistics on the registration numbers of the manufacturers in 2007.http://www.kba.de/…/n_12_07.pdf Toyota (without Lexus) appeared to be ahead of Renault (without Dacia) in the full year 2007 in D, which would be an absolute novelty in Germany. Unfortunately, the KBA does not list Renault/Dacia and Toyota/Lexus in the above statistics, but if the figures of the Dacia and Lexus models from the statistics by segments and model series (up to and including November) to the whole These statistics are used to calculate the Dacia/Lexus numbers:http://www.kba.de/…/segments_11_07.pdf This is my calculation: Toyota/Lexus together: 132.535 (upper statistics) The four Lexus models reached up to and including 11/07 4,066 registrations (lower statistics), up to the whole year this would be about 4,500, so Toyota alone would have about 128 .000. With Renault/Dacia together 140,281 The Logan had up to 11/07 15.899 registrations, for the whole year this would be about 17.650, therefore Renault would have about 122,600. That would then be a difference of perhaps five thousand approvals – who would have thought that? Is everything still a little uncertain, but I do not think that the final statistics will be different in the basic trend. Another calculation approach: the ams 19.12.2007 gives the following figures (01-11/2007) for D: Toyota (without Lexus): 116.865 Renault (without Dacia): 114.134 The open question is December, but: The KBA calls for December at Toyota/Lexus 11,522 units and for Renault/Dacia 10.546. On average, LExus had 377 registrations per month. There remains a small advantage for Toyota over Renault. Of course, one can argue whether Renault and Dacia are cumulative or separate, but I would say that these are two brands.
