The European car market grew strongly in September. In the European Union (EU) a good 1.2 million vehicles were newly registered, 6.4 percent more than a year ago, as the industry association Acea announced on Friday. Sales rose for the 13th month in a row. In August the plus was only 2.1 percent.

In the first nine months of the year, Opel / Vauxhall sales were slightly more than 671,000 vehicles, an increase of 8.2 percent compared to the same period of the previous year. GM subsidiary Chevrolet, which withdrew from the European market this year, only sold 34,605 vehicles from January to September, a decrease of 68.5 percent.
