That brought registrations so far in 2004 to 2.98 million units, 1 percent below the year-ago level, the German industry group said, adding that November 2004 had benefited from one more selling day than November 2003.
Analysts report that the comparison with last year is helped by the fact that November last year was weak. They also say that the market is being lifted by a number of new models, such as the BMW 1-Series and that many manufacturers are using bigger customer incentives to lift sales and share.
