Top 10 Best-Selling Cars In The United Kingdom - November 2011

As per the norm, the Ford Fiesta was the best-selling car in the United Kingdom in November 2011. Fiesta sales were down 4.5% and are off last year's pace by 8% through eleven months. Its lead over its nearest November rival, the Vauxhall Corsa, was nearly 1000 units strong by the end of the month. Year-to-date, the Fiesta's lead over its big brother, the Ford Focus, expanded to nearly 13,000 units.

There are seven brands represented in the UK's 10 best-selling cars list this month. The Honda Jazz and Vauxhall Insignia, two of October's best-selling cars, fell off the list this month. Replacing the Jazz (Fit to you, North America) and Insignia (Buick Regal to you, North America) were BMW's Mini and the Mercedes-Benz C-Class. This is the first month this year in which a Mercedes-Benz formed part of the UK best seller list.

With no Volkswagen Passat and no Insignia, no cars from the class North Americans call "midsize" - the D segment in Europe - cracked the top ten in November. Indeed, the two leading candidates are subcompacts. Also present are the similarly sized Volkswagen Polo and bite-size Mini. For the Mini Cooper to be one of America's best-selling cars in November 2011, Mini USA would have needed to more than quadruple the Cooper's monthly total.
