2007 saw no major changes in the relative positions of Europe’s top automobile manufacturers regarding new passenger car registrations in the European Union and EFTA countries. The Volkswagen Group (VW, Audi, Seat, Skoda, Bentley, Bugatti & Lamborghini) easily maintained its position and top-selling car manufacturer despite a small decline in market share to 19.7% (20.2% in 2006). The PSA Group (Peugeot & Citroen) was the second largest automobile manufacturer in Europe followed by Ford, General Motors (GM) and Renault.
