Mini-MPVs closed in on supermini registrations last month thanks to 29.0% growth, although it's still well behind on the year-to-date figure. The decline in mainstream segments showed itself again, with the big three markets all well down on August 2005. Outside the top five there was growth only in the executive, small 4x4 and city car sectors.
