I'm suprised by the corsa figures; I think I've seen less than 10 Corsa D's on the road since they were launched

Vectra done well considering it was set to be replaced about now. People snapping up those £6,995 deals for the SRi.

Just seen that smmt data now.
2 things that worry me from a work perspective.
3 series pentration and Zafira...BMW is a volume manufacturer - which will push it to be dealt with and viewed as a volume brand from a resale perspective.

Bad for you, good for other manufacturers.

The new Mondeo & Insignia are as good as the Audi & BMW equivlents, the latter especially now it has the 4WD setup.

It really doesn't make sense to spend an extra 10k on BMW when the next best thing is 10k cheaper and better equipped.

The new Mondeo seems to have broken away from the mould of the old ones?

Both the new Mondeo & Insignia are leagues above their predecessors.

A decent specced mondeo is a fortune, pulling up in a high specced mondeo isn't as cool as a low specced bmw or audi.

The low spec'd Audi's and BM's look shit though, I mean, you can buy a 1.6 16v A4 with steels, no air con and windy rear windows

I bet even the base spec Mondy comes with AC.

Personally I see no point in an A4, you wither get an A3 sportback - more car for your money or if you need the size, an A6.

Most Audi drivers are twats now - thats not to say BMW don't have there fair sahre

BM have done well as they a stupidly low on emissions thus compnay car tax is great - and most BMW's on the raod will be company cars

A6' are not worth a bean anymore. Scary how much these have been hit.
Infact all upper medium D segment is on its arse from a resale point of view. a4, 3 series, c class, accord, mondeo, insignia, c5, avensis..none are being viewed kindly at the minute.

To be fair everything has taken a thumping. Typically a 3yr old car with 60k on the clock is 22.2% cheaper than the previous 12 months.
