Tonight it must happen: the pick of the second world cup final in a row for the Dutch national team. The last hurdle that must be passed are the Argentines, this is a good moment to look at the car market of the country.

Argentina has 42.1 million inhabitants, last year was for the Argentine auto industry a bumper year with 955.000 sell. The netherlands has better years known, last year went there 417.000 cars over the counter. We have 16.7 million inhabitants, we had just as many as Argentina, there were 1.05 million cars converted. That is what the nice gelijkop.

But what drives the average Argentine? No Audi Q7 such as Demichelis and Angel di Maria, or a thick Maserati such as Messi of course. Also exclusive cars like the Mercedes SLS are there by their sky-high price, very rare. If they already arrive. No, this is what the average Spaniard (source: ACARA):

1 Chevrolet Classic 37.018 (3,9%)
2 VW Gol Trend 34.040 (3,6%)
3, The Renault Clio Mio 33.133 (3,5%)
4 Ford Ecosport 32.445 (3,4%)
5 Renault Duster 30.784 (3,2%)
6 Peugeot 207 Compact 29.236 (3,1%)
7 Toyota Hilux 27.237 (2,9%)
8 VW Gol Power 23.858 (2,5%)
9 VW Suran 23.155 (2,4%)
10 Renault Sandero 22.882 (2,4%)

As you can see, there are many specific South American models in the list, such as, for example, the VW Gol. The lijstaanvoerder, the Chevrolet Classic is a omgebadge Opel Corsa with the technique of the second generation.

Also, Dacia is strong in Argentina, where she was under the Renault-flag to be sold. Models that also off-road can are also well represented, Argentina is not as paved as the Netherlands. Also notable is the lack of Fiats in the list. The brand is in Brazil, very strong, in Argentina apparently less.

Finally, still a small seven hours, and then we’re going to do: is it finally a final Netherlands-Germany? Let’s hope that the Argentines will not again have such a slow, pathetic pot on the mat.
