Dacia's position as No1 goes to prove that what people really want is a cheap no nonsense 4x4 I suppose.Surprised by the CRV's place though.The french obviously don't rate Hondas [aren't they made in Britain?] :wonder:

They are made in Swindon yes. Hehehe and yes perhaps that is why they hate them!?

Also of interest is that when you click the bottom link that there is a separate section for Crossovers! The 3008 and Cashcow et al are in a different section to the Yeti! The Yeti is counted as a full size SUV!

CROSSOVER COMPACTOS

1. Peugeot 3008 30.759
2. Nissan Qashqai 14.278
3. Suzuki SX4 1.021
4. Fiat Sedici 1.023
5. Mitsubishi ASX 450

So had it been in its "proper" section it would have been third.
