Latest in my exploration of who’s buying what and where comes Argentina, land of pampas, Patagonia, Péron and the tango. Also a land without the Falklands.
So, what’s hot and what’s not in America’s Deep South? Do the Argentinians buy oddly named and archaic European models? Do they ask the question answered by Subaru? Do they drive around in huge (North) American pickups? Yes, no and no.
Here we go for the Top Ten so far this year:
VW Gol (no, I haven’t forgotten the F)
Chevrolet Classic (?)
Toyota Hilux (this has become a car?)
Fiat Palio
Fiesta
Ford Ecosport
Ford Focus
Renault Clio
Toyota Etios (no, me neither)
Fiat Siena
Research tells me that the Classic is a Corsa B, the Gol is a Brazilian model based on the PQ24 platform like the Polo, the Etios is designed specially for the developing world to standards not acceptable elsewhere and the two Fiats are hatch and three box versions of a car designed on the same basis as the Toyota.
Have a Siena followed by the newer Grand Siena
Have also a map of the Falklands. This, if you’re Argentinian, is as near as you’re going to get.

MK1 Punto platform? If not it certainly borrows the front doors and wings from one.

They’re related but it’s not just a rebodied Punto. That’s actually the old model now that I look again, the new one isn’t related to the Punto.

Apparently, the Fiat Siena was built under license in North Korea.

The classic is a first gen Corsa sedan.
The Etios is a very small very ugly shitty hatch that people are buying by the dozens because they are so cheap.

If this is the current Classic, it’s a Corsa B, ie second generation.

Ah yes, the Vauxhall Nova, had forgotten about that.
