The one linked above is a press car

So that would be three sold in January.

Seems a bit excessive to have a press car in such a small market.
On the other hand maybe excess defines that particular market

There's another odd stat with Febraury.

Looks like the Renault Zoe tanked in February, it had 77 sales in January & only 9 in February.

Comparing this to other electric car like the Nissan Leaf with 296 in January & 105 in February
or the BMW i3 with 42 in January & 35 in February.

I can't compare figures of the Hyundai Kona or Ioniq as they also have other power sources.

Problem with the Zoe is that its not market very well and its tiny. So doesn't tick a lot of boxes for many people.

Renault really need an electric Megane hatch and or electric Captur and compete hard with Hyundai on price

Has Renault dropped the ball with the Megane? As the current Magane is not long out and I guessing they have no electric or hybrid options for it. I wonder is the next Captur or Clio going to have a electric option?

Seen a 191 black Kia Optima today and a black 191 Toyota Rav 4.

ShadowHearth · 06-03-2019 4:52pm

At work, side by side new 191 RAV4 in white and Skoda 191 Kodiaq in black. It's funny how how Toyota is the hot onein car park now.

Of yeah, forgot about 191 BMW x6 too. All I can say: that front grill is half the car.

AMKC · 06-03-2019 5:19pm

Seen a light beige 191 Citroen C3 Aircross with red mirrors and roof bars.

I also seen a black 191 Volvo V40 just remembered now lol.

bobbyss · 06-03-2019 5:52pm

Saw 191 D 1 recently. Volvo. Sexy indicator lights

Tauriel · 06-03-2019 7:08pm

I've seen a 191 D black Peugeot 508 in Cork.

GeneHunt · 07-03-2019 12:13am

I saw this yesterday. Not sure on the black wheel yet!:pac:

This was a great coup by Volvo years and years ago to give the lord major a car each year with plate “1”. It stopped for a few of the recession years.

I ‘saw’ 131-d-1 in skerries last week.
(I didn’t seen it, I actually saw it)

Kevin Finnerty · 07-03-2019 12:46pm

191c555 BMW x5 50d in Cork city this morning. Gorgeous. A7 45, Cayenne Turbo, the new Seat kodiaq rival, Touerag r line, all 191 . Great to see. A 161 M3 as well. All in a half hour spin.

Thought it was a d, cartelled it only to find it was a c.Strategically placed black screwcover made it look a d. Either way has to be a Fota job going by the driver. ( no disrespect meant).

AMKC · 07-03-2019 5:56pm

Seen a light blue/silver 191 Audi A6 today.

Rob C · 08-03-2019 10:42pm

Does anyone know what has happened to the Audi lineup? I think since the WLTP regime, their lineup has been gutted.

The S4 is gone as is the SQ5 from their website. And none of the S models or RS has the PCP calculator available for them. I read on another forum that the VAG companies were waaaay behind in WLTP testing. It looks like Audi is struggling to get their fast cars suitably registered under WLTP. They must have had their CO2 figures shoot up so as to make them all but unsellable in Ireland.

AMKC · 08-03-2019 11:57pm

So today I seen a blue 191 Renault Kadjar, a grey 191 Honda Civic, a Red 191 Nissan Qushqui, a lovely red 191 Nissan Micra very well specced and looked really good and two red 191 Toyota's one was a C-HR and the other was the new Corolla harchback.

AMKC · 19-03-2019 7:45pm

So seen a 191 red Kia Stinger today. Must say it looks great in the metal. Would loved to have took a pic but it was moving.

I have to say the Stinger looked great and the person driving it was very happy. Its a big car too.

GeneHunt · 22-03-2019 6:10pm

I seen these 191s in the last few days

GeneHunt · 22-03-2019 6:12pm

I saw a 191 Mercedes Benz Coupe yesterday morning, not sure if it was a C or E Class coupe. It was gone passed me before I could see what it was, so I'll have to keep a eye out for it again.

I've just seen this 191 Mercedes Benz Coupe again, it's a 2019 Mercedes-benz E-class E 200 (Petrol) Coupe AMG Sport, listed on www.motorcheck.ie as red, but I would say it looked purple, just checked the MB website the colour is called Rubellite Red Metallic. Unfortunately the owner was in it, so no photo...

But it looked very like this one & yes it had the Panoramic Sunroof & white Nappa Leather Interior :cool:

Saw a lovely 191 VW Arteon

AMKC · 04-04-2019 9:04pm

Seen a brand new grey 191 Mitsubishi Outlander and I do not think it was the PHEV either just a normal diesel one.

ofcork · 04-04-2019 10:09pm

New 3 series in Blackpool cork today black like the 5 from the front.

Stats are out for end of March

https://stats.beepbeep.ie/

Tucson and Cashcow well out in front. Surprising amount of Ford Focus's sold.

Skoda are the only ones to really increase their sales. Most of the rest are well down bar Peugeot with a tiny increase.

Actually few outside the top 10 have increased, 5 Bentley vs 2 for last year!

sk8board · 05-04-2019 8:30pm

Only 55 Subaru sold, I know the dealers these days have multiple marques, but there are about 5 or 6 places countrywide - I would think they have half of that total registered to themselves.

Tesla nowhere since the BIK change, and Porsche hit by the lack of diesel and are still waiting for the new garage (although I passed it today going to joe Duffy and it looks finished)

225 registered by Ford on the last day of March alone. I'd predict some nice pre reg bargains going around the Ford dealers in April €€€

191 black BMW 8 series in cork this morning not sure what to make of it.

Parked on McCurtain Street by any chance? Passed it this morning myself. Nice enough looking car but wouldnt wow you I think. :pac:

ofcork · 09-04-2019 10:58am

Driving up Patrick st I saw it.

GavRedKing · 09-04-2019 11:35am

I'm nearly positive that 8 series is "only" an 840D, well, the one I seen in Blackrock in Cork was anyway, cant be too many of them around.

The 850M Sport is much more striking car.

On the new Focus, there does seem to be an awful lot of them knocking around. CAB have a good dozen or so in their yard too un-registered so there must be decent offers on them at the moment.

Here I was thinking I had seen the only TWO 191 DS3's in the country, but then I noticed that they are listed as Citroens and not DS's, so I checked the for DS too only to find another 17 listed as a DS DS3 :mad:

Even if you check on Motorcheck.ie the above car is listed as a 2019 Citroen DS3 DS 3 Bluehdi 100 Elegance MY42 2DR and below car is listed as a 2019 Citroen DS3 DS 3 Bluehdi 100 S&S Elegance 2DR . These cars are NOT Citroens anymore (not since May 2015).

A good few "extras" on the lower one too, LED headlights, Parking sensors, Sat Nav, plus the roof & mirrors are purple!

GeneHunt · 09-04-2019 8:27pm

Is it that it’s ridiculously big or that there’ such a separation between the two sides of it.

Widdensushi · 09-04-2019 9:20pm

Google the x7 if you want to see a big grill

Miike · 09-04-2019 9:48pm

Nothing tops the Ford F150 (Raptor + RTR especially) for huge grill. It's mind boggling.

Good god that thing is hideous! I actually like the F150 Raptor and the X5 X7 look, they have a presence but that thing is shocking!

GeneHunt · 10-04-2019 5:28pm

The Germans are going mad on big grilles these days, Audi started a few year ago, with the grille jointing with the one in the lower bumper, to make one big grille, personally I think they got away with it, until the Q8 launch!

The BMW kidney grilles were never over powering the look of the front of their cars, unfortunately the grilles on the current models are starting to look out of scale to the car. If they keep going at this rate we'll end up with something like this below!!!

Wow that is really ugly. I think BMW are overdoing there grills.

Is that the one with FORD on the front real big? If it is there is one local to me and I have to say I like it.

LOL that hilarious. When I seen it at first I thought maybe it was some forign brand we do not know with a massive front grill on its cars but read your post then and could see the grill then.

AMKC · 11-04-2019 10:36pm

Also I seen a new Corolla saloon today up close. Got some pics too. Must put them up. It looks really nice do.

There is zero difference in the look of an 840d and a M850i.
