The expectations for the whole year are fulfilling. Company’s trading performance is strong, with used cars segment being the most important influence. New cars segment is expected to foster company’s results on H2 2012. Aftersales segment remains growing. The target indices set at the beginning of 2012 are anticipated to be met in the annual resuls.
