E Class was selling 5-6k+ for many months... I guess new C and S Class on either side of it are pulling away some sales?
Shady that BMW includes 3/4 Series in one number. I have a feeling they didn't want to even risk losing the #1 sales title for the 3 series... and not that I think they're in immediate danger right now, but the C Class has been creeping up on the 3 for a few years now. 6 Series is broken out vs. 5, but 4 isn't vs. 3? Interesting

Also note that BMW is just 5,389 cars ahead of Mercedes in the sales race. We'll see if the GLA closes that gap!

I was just thinking about Toyota sales... October is their record in last 10 years.
What can Toyota do to sell more? Not much. New small car and SUV will help, but at that point some other current vehicles will grow a year older so they will sell slightly less - it will balance out... Toyota brand has probably reached maximum level in the USA, without big truck performing on the level F150 or Silverado.
As to the Lexus, with NX and RC, as well as new RX and TX, there is a lot of space to grow since they are entering 3 segments they were not in before.

^I was thinking much the same looking at those numbers yesterday. Toyota is pretty "on top of the world" right now when you look across the charts. A few products, such as LS and GS, could be selling a bit higher, but as you note, when considering life cycles and the big picture... ToMoCo doesn't have much room to grow.

there's always tons of room to grow. 
a 'better' prius for example, could really increase sales.
as spwolf said, a more competitive tundra could really increase sales too, but the new f-150 is a giant leap forward with the big aluminum push.
a new venza, the 4runner desperately needs a new model, and of course scion could use some new blood too.
