- The Spanish market is expected to stabilize at 700,000 cars in 2013, with the continuation of a system of scrappage schemes (PivePlan), but much less ambitious than the Prever Plan, which was helped sustain and even develop the automobile market for ten years (1997-2007).

- The end of the Prever plan and the severe economic crisis that began in 2009 made the Spanish market drop by 56% in five years, from 1 600 000 to 700 000 units.

- Let us recall that the Pive plan provides an aid of 2000 euros (1000 euros from the government in 1000 from automobile brands) for the purchase of a new vehicle to replace a vehicle over 12 years old.

- Today, the unemployment rate in Spain is one of the highest in Europe (25%). The purchasing power has fallen sharply and the purchase of new cars is no longer a priority.

- Consumer confidence will take several years before returning. The Spanish car market is likely to be low for several years.

- Per carmakers, the VW group (24.1% market share) was ahead of its competitors in 2012 (thanks to its Spanish brand Seat), such as PSA (15.5%), Renault-Nissan (15.2%), GM (9.3%) and Ford (7.3%).

- The most produced car models in the world in 2012 were the Ford Focus (passenger car) and Ford F-Series (pickup) ahead of the Toyota Corolla and the VW Golf. These production figures differ from those registrations because some carmakers have carried out a model storage, and other inventory discounts.

- The top ten most cars produced in 2012 are as follows:

- Thus there are among the top ten sales in 2012 : 3 Fords,  2 Toyotas, 2 Hondas, 2 General Motor cars and 1 Volkswagen.

- Let us recall that in terms of group levels the Toyota group is the largest producer of cars, followed by General Motors and Volkswagen. Ford is only the sixth and Honda the eighth, their production is concentrated on fewer models, which explains the presence of the Focus, the F-Series, the Civic and the CR-V in model classification.
