German car sales hit the fast lane last month, rising 18.1 percent from a year ago and fueling a 3.9 percent increase across Europe, manufacturers' association ACEA said Wednesday.
Sales hit 1.22 million in November, picking up from an October turnaround that ended four months of decline and showed Europeans are starting to cash in on a growing economy.
Fiat SpA saw the biggest gain, up 15.1 percent after selling 95,225 cars, but Germany's Volkswagen AG shifted the most cars, pushing 266,737 out of showrooms _ a 11.1 percent increase on November 2005.
Toyota Motor Corp. was another winner with a 10.6 percent hike.
