In the brands ranking, Volkswagen (+2%) can only muster a tiny year-on-year growth but remains in the lead of the brands charts with 8.5% share. Audi (+23.6%) delivers a stellar evolution and its highest share since last April at 8.2%. Ford (-8.8%) endures the only drop in the Top 10 and falls to #3. It is followed by BMW (+21.6%) up six spots on September to #4 and Vauxhall (+20.2%) up three to #5.
