Is it a Corvette?
The global automotive industry suffered a poor January 2018. The United States saw a drop in deliveries of 1 percent despite increased fleet sales. In Britain, sales fell 25 percent. Only the SUV segment saw growth.
While the Ford Fiesta occupying the top spot in the UK for another 30 days is not surprising, it is the brand that is the worst-selling. This automaker is Chevrolet. It was able to deliver 1_ vehicles in the UK in January of this year.

Although it may sound strange, there is a simple explanation. Chevrolet is not officially represented in Europe. However, some dealers legal import the Camaro and Corvette to the Old continent. Although we don’t have the exact model number of any Chevy vehicles sold in the UK at this time, there are two options.
The car could very well be either a Corvette oder a Camaro. Both are quite rare to find in Europe. Chevrolet may still have some Opel-rebadged cars in stock.
According to CarSalesBase data, Chevrolet sold two cars in Europe last December 2017, one in November and none in October 2017. The 2005 year with 211,737 sales was the brand’s best-ever year.
These otherwise frightening numbers should not be feared by the American manufacturer. Despite a slight decrease in sales in 2016, 2017 was a good year for American car sales. It delivered more than 2 million vehicles in 2017, and started 2018 with 141 947 sales in January. Ford sold 154,001 vehicles in the same month.
