...May, Skoda Auto said on Friday.
"May 2007 was the second-best month in Skoda's history in terms of sales," the company said in a statement.
In the first five months, Skoda brand sales grew 13.8 percent to 254,680 vehicles.
Skoda, the Czech Republic's largest exporter, posted a first-quarter operating profit of 172 million euros ($230.9 million), almost half that of the group's core VW brand, on a fraction of VW's revenue and car sales.
