New registrations July 2018: Flop 50

W hen cars cannot be sold in large numbers, there are many layers Reasons. Let's take the VW Jetta, which is at the very end of our July ranking with just one new registration. It is there because VW officially withdrew it from its range some time ago, and a car that is no longer available cannot of course sell either. Here only one or the other dump truck splashes into the market. The same applies, for example, to the Aston Martin DB9 and V12 models. Both have already been replaced by successors.

It looks different with models like the two Rolls-Royce Dawn and Wraith. They are both still part of the current model range from the British. However, they are aimed at a very small group of customers who per se cannot guarantee high quantities. Accordingly, only 1 new copy of each was registered in July.

Suzuki Jimny on the jump

Suzuki

The Suzuki Jimny should soon vanish into higher new registration levels.

If we double the number, then we end up with Models like a Citroën C-Elysee, the Ferrari models 458 and FF and a Lotus Evora. In general, there are very many expensive sports cars in these registration regions, although the gap is wide. A Lamborghini Aventador manages 65 new registrations, an Audi R8 still 59 and a Ferrari 488 their 47. For a Ferrari F12 there are only 3 new registrations, for one for a Lotus Exige and a Nissan GT-R only 9 new registrations .

In the middle of our ranking there are groups of Opel Cascada, Ferrari Portofino, Mercedes SL and Toyota Verso, which are only brought together by the number of new registrations.Grouping also at Lada Granta, Subaru Levorg, Lexus CT and Maserati Ghibli. We're talking about 30 to 40 new registrations here.

Alfa Romeo hopefuls Giulia, with 78 new registrations, the Bentley Continental, for which 89 customers in this country have decided, barely slipped into the flop 50 in July , as well as the new Suzuki Jimny, which will soon be able to combine more than the current 90 new registrations.
