German automotive industry association VDA on Friday confirmed its 2011 outlook for new car registrations in Germany, but said it expects a slight slowdown in 2012, if uncertainties in the financial markets persist.

The country's new car registrations in November rose 3% from a year earlier to 269,300, while car exports of German brands increased 7% to 426,800, VDA said. Domestic car production increased 7% to 555,700.

"2011 is a strong year for the auto market. We expect new record highs in exports, production and sales," VDA President Matthias Wissmann said in a statement.

For 2011, the association continues to expect new car registrations in Germany to rise about 8% to over 3.1 million and exports to rise 7% to over 4.5 million cars. It also expects more than 5.9 millions cars to be produced in the country.
