Model series are the KBA's own groupings; the KBA sometimes merges series (e.g. GLK, GLC) or moves a series between segments. Month-over-month and year-over-year figures are computed from the published monthly tables and shown only when the comparison month has at least 30 registrations (10 for the electric tables).
