 The casual observer of West Europe’s comparatively lively car sales scene could be puzzled by the mixed signals being sent out by PSA. While Peugeot did well to keep its first quarter sales in line with the overall market, its newest baby, the Citroën-based DS brand, was left way behind in the dust. That’s an ominous plunge of more than 15 per cent in both March and the year to date. For PSA, that’s means a markedly slimmer 10.9 per cent first quarter sales share, dropping to an even lower 10.4 per cent during March itself. So while its Renault rival ended this year’s opening
quarter with an unchanged 9.1 per cent group car sales share in Western Europe, after climbing for two year’s
running to a 4-year high of 9.3 per cent during last year, PSA slipped to a new all-time low of 10.9 per cent.
