Paced by an 8.2 percent increase in long-stagnant Germany in June, European car sales grew 4.5 percent for the month compared with the same period in 2004 (See table, Page 20).

Sales in Germany are growing, partly because of incentives. The arrival of important new products, including the BMW 3 series and Volkswagen Passat, also is helping.

Propelled by the new 3 series, BMW group, which includes Mini, led European carmakers in growth with a sales increase of 21.8 percent in June. BMW group is up 16.1 percent for the first half of the year.
