Chevrolet sold 16 Aveos in January. The Mini Cooper - that's every Mini that isn't a Countryman - out-sold the Fiat 500 by 164 units. The Fiat 500 out-sold the Volkswagen Beetle by 510 units. The Volkswagen Beetle out-sold the smart fortwo by 905 units. And the smart fortwo out-sold the Scion iQ by 122 units. Mini sales were split, of course, between multiple models. There were 1584 "original" Cooper hatchbacks sold, both Coopers and Cooper S hatchbacks, that is. Add to that 219 Clubmans, 126 Convertibles, and 146 of those dreadfully ugly Coupes. We are also aware that 1398 of the 10,962 Jettas sold in America in January 2012 were SportWagens. Jetta wagons are basically stretched Golfs wearing Jetta badges. Sales of the Jetta sedan were down just 1.8%.

| January 2012 Midsize Car Market Share Chart |
One note on platform-sharers: together, the Kia Optima and Hyundai Sonata, two cars which are totally unrelated in the style department, found 23,303 buyers in January. That's enough to top the second-place Nissan Altima, but not nearly enough to challenge the all-conquering Toyota Camry for top spot.
