"Following seven months of strong sales in Germany, Opel sales across Europe are now also on the upswing.
With 104,531 new passenger car registrations, Opel increased its market share in Europe to 7.2 percent in July 2009 (July 2008: 6.45 percent). From January to July 2009 market share was 7.03 percent, solidly placing Opel third in the registration statistics for Europe. Opel enjoyed particularly strong growth in France, increasing market share in July 2009 by 41.5 percent compared to July 2008 (total market + 3.1 percent). Especially the Meriva and Corsa enjoyed strong sales there. Opel registrations in Spain were up 0.8 percent in July 2009, a substantially stronger performance than the overall market, which decreased by 10.3 percent. In Belgium Opel grew 12.4 percent in July while the overall market declined by 8.7 percent. Germany remains Opel’s most successful market, with a plus of 51.5 percent in July against the overall market’s growth of 29.5 percent.
With around 140,000 orders across Europe, the new Insignia is playing a major role in Opel’s success: the brand was the clear leader in the mid-size sedan segment in the first half of 2009."
