In all April saw 133,475 units were registered, and saw the Ford Focus outsell the Fiesta for the first time since July 2008, however the smaller Ford continues to be the most popular model sold in the UK.“Today records the eleventh successive fall in new car registrations yet the UK motor industry continues to demonstrate its strength and resilience throughout,” said Paul Everitt, SMMT chief executive. “Despite the tough conditions, industry is hopeful that its prospects will improve in the coming months and the steps it has taken will provide the basis for a sustained recovery once growth returns. The UK motor industry remains of strategic importance and will play a key part in generating jobs and prosperity into the future.”ved-april-09-sales1The drive towards cars with lower CO2 emissions continues to gather pace with SMMT releasing figures indicating the changing nature of new car sales by CO2 emissions (as shown in the graph above) The average car now emits 153.5g/km of CO2 which is 4.5% lower than the 2008 figure and over 15% lower than cars sold in 2000.Top Ten April '09 Best Sellers:
