The Volkswagen Golf was not Europe’s top-selling car in March for the first time in seven years, according to an analysis last week by Jato Dynamics. The German family car was ousted by the American supermini Ford Fiesta, with the Ford car outselling the Golf by about 500 cars, or 47,300 compared to 46,800. Ford’s momentary success might be music to the ears of US President Donald Trump, who complained just ahead of taking office that more German cars could be seen on the streets of New York than American cars on German streets. Meanwhile Ford prepares the new generation of its Fiesta with the usual negative impact on sales.”
