And the winner for the most popular marque in September's sales figures is...Ford. Once again.
The industry says it saw demand rise slightly and the figures are better than 2004 as people snap up the '57' plate.
Demand was up across all sales types and the overall September volume was 1.1 per cent or 4,591 units above the 1999-2006 average of 414,699 for the month.
Diesel and 'green' fuels are leading the demand.
And among the carmakers it's Ford that's by far the most popular with their March and September figures combining to account for around one third of total UK annual vehicle registrations.
The Galaxy and the C-MAX are proving to be popular and the firm says its all-new Mondeo already has almost 13,000 sales and a full order book to its credit.
Citroen and Seat also claim to have record-breaking sales figures for the month.
