Interesting.

Dacia are a relative new entrant to the market. Look at the percentage change column. 31% up from Nov '12 to '13. 21% up '12 to '13.
Guess it depends on what you mean by "relative" but they've been on mainland Europe for some years - only now they have products that compete with lower-end mainstream models.

What this table really shows is just how badly the French and Italian markets are doing for their domestic manufacturers. Sign of the Times for the Latin bloc.
