Brazil is already the sixth largest vehicle market in the world
It can be stated without fear of contradiction that 2007 was an exciting year - marked the breaking of large number of records for the Brazilian automotive sector. Will be stored in memory, at least until January 2009 as the year that most manufacture, sell and export in dollars, automotive vehicles.
And the ranks of sales for automakers and models showed up a few surprises, showing who took the best tide good last year and who must seek the injury in 2008.
In the ranking of automakers that have sold more cars and light commercial vehicles in Brazil in 2007, Fiat has remained untouched in front, reaching the sixth consecutive year of leadership. The novelty was the Volkswagen has taken the deputy leadership, which was placed third in 2006 - even though virtually tied with GM, which in 2007 was the last step of the podium.
In a car market which grew 27% in 2007, Fiat and VW managed to exceed this rate, increasing its sales by 29.4% and 31.2% respectively. GM was below the high of the market, growing 18.9%.
Fourth-placed, Ford saw its car sales grow 23.8%, well below market. What once again reduced the gap to fifth placed again PSA Peugeot Citroen, in the same item increased 33.2%. Thereafter there was a good change in ranking compared with 2006.
Toyota, previously in sixth, dropped to eighth thanks especially to the poor result in auto sales, reduced by 1.7% over the previous year - she, Audi and Alfa Romeo were the only ones to sell fewer cars in 2007 than in 2006. Best for Honda, with a high of 25.8% took sixth place. Who came in the vacuum was Renault, which jumped from eighth to seventh thanks to the proper elevation of 42.8% in auto sales. Behind the Nissan Toyota come in ninth in the car with a spectacular increase of no less than 749%.
In light commercial vehicles, which grew 32.7% in impressive sales in the year, Fiat has also led easily, while Ford is the deputy leader of the EcoSport thanks to the inclusion in this category. Then come, in sequence, GM, VW, Mitsubishi, Toyota, Nissan, Renault and PSA.
In both categories combined - the most complete and indicative - the ranking is identical to the car until the eighth. Who else grew from 2006 to 2007 was the Nissan, 136.6%, but its volume is still small. Highlights for Renault, up 42.4% and by brand, Citroen, about 43%. The ones that grew less than the market for cars and light trucks in 2007 were, in order, Toyota, Ford, GM, Mitsubishi and Honda.
Commercial vehicles in the Mercedes-Benz once again won both in trucks and buses. But the leader grew 25%, somewhat less than the total market for trucks - considered since the semi-light to heavy, according to the criteria of Anfavea - 31.5%. The second-ranked VWCO, overcame mid-market with its 32.5% high. Thirdly, there are Ford, Volvo and Scania, in order, all with lower growth than the market. In sixth place Iveco, which has to celebrate the fastest growing band in 2007, 119.5%.
Bus chassis in the situation was similar: a leading Mercedes-Benz grew 25.6%, less than the market, 26.7%, while the vice VWCO gained their numbers at 37.7%. The third place went to Agrale, while the fourth, Scania, presented the best index among all high, 45%. Iveco, unlike trucks, was the only one to register a negative result, down 17.7%.
In the bodywork of the bus-Caio Induscar 2006 and was repeated again the leader in volume manufacturing, according to Fabus, National Association of Manufacturers of Bus. The deputy was Marcopolo, followed by Busscar, and Ciferal Neobus.
In the ranking of models has the obvious, but dripped surprises here and there. If Gol - the twenty-first consecutive year the best-selling vehicle - Classic, Astra, Fit, Strada, S10, Fiorino van and once again won their categories, SpaceFox overthrew the Palio Weekend and the Civic has dethroned the Corolla. Another victory in the Honda sedan was great, the second criterion of Fenabrave, with the Accord.
Other highlights were Punto and C4 Pallas, which has sold more than 307 Sedan brother, and Logan, Polo Sedan Zafira and Fielder, who hit for very little, Picasso.
Golf disappointed, only the fourth between the hatches despite restyled in 2007, the Celtic, which fell from third to fifth best-selling general losing the post to Mille and Fox, Mégane sedan, which sold even less than the Fusion and the Omega, with only 379 units sold.
In the range bikes CG remains miles ahead. Together the versions 125 and 150 sales numbers of the model in 2007 came to an impressive 737 000 units.
Good numbers for 2007 also helped the country to climb stairs in the world ranking. Now Brazil is the sixth largest market in sales, and in 2006 was only the ninth - surpassed France, Britain and Spain. And the gap to fifth place, Italy was little.
Production in Spain and France have not closed their numbers, which makes the final analysis. But it is very likely that Brazil has exceeded at least one of them, jumping from seventh to sixth largest producer of vehicles.

Will 5 stud Vauxhall steel wheels 195/65/15 91 fit Astra H?
Looking for steel wheels & winter tyres for my Astra H, year 2005.
Found Vauxhall 5-stud (195/65/15) wheels. Not sure what model Astra or Zafira they been taken off from.
Just wondering now are all Vauxhall 5-stud steelies are the same or Astra G Mk4 (1998-2004), Astra H (Mk5, 2004-2009), Astra Van differs and cannot be transfered.
Please advise if you can.
Yes and no. Yes the wheels will fit, and there is absolutely no point whatsoever in wasting good money on "winter" tyres. They went out with "winter" oil in the 1950's.
