No Ford figures here yet?

 

Perhaps they're out of budget for preparing a monthly sales report?

 

The GS hybrid is really a flop. Hate to say it, but it's true. It's a fairly new model with all this technology, etc etc, yet it isn't even selling a hundred a month. And some laugh about Acura RL sales this month - sheesh, these numbers are downright disasterous.

 

Entry Level:

3 Series: 9,519
G: 6,332
C-Class: 6,052
TL: 4,324
IS: 3,757
A4: 3,437

Wow, the numbers for the 3 series, G, & C-Class are excellent for September, considering the slow month

Even the TL, despite the aging design, continues to do very well..

And, to be fair...the 3 Series and G models include both coupe and sedan, or even more variants. The actual sedan numbers are closer to:


G sedan: 3,841
3 sedans: 7,655~

Still quite nice.

 

Think about how happy they will be next year when they show how *great* a month they had!

 

its a bad month so numbers are down across the board
but, the new G coupe seems to be doing fairly well. it's outselling the 3 coupes, as the last G did...i thought the new 3 series coupes would make things really difficult for infiniti.. but that doesnt seem to be the case at all

 

I saw on a business news headline that Ford's sales were off by something like 18%. I didn't read the article to see how that breaks down cars vs. trucks etc.

 

Versa seems to be consistently outselling the Fit and the Yaris now. I think it's the only segment that Nissan beats both Honda and Toyota?

 

lol

The GS 450h is a LIMITED PRODUCTION MODEL2,000 Allocated to the USA. It is the best selling GS in Europe. So please, check the facts before making a statement like that. It has HIT sales targets since its debut. ONE MONTH does not make a trend.

The RL is ANOTHER **** poor effort by Acura. The car has been a flop since 1996. Its 2007 and STILL a flop. I don't think Jesus can save the RL.

The car debuted BEFORE the GS and M35/45. The GS and M35/45 now have a refresh, while the RL rusts on dealer lots.

They sold barely over 300 last month. That is barely more than 1 per dealer.

Those are the facts.

 

Is that monthly or YTD? I think all 3 did great jobs bringing good sub-compacts to the market.

3 has always done well. Its the 3. TL is an incredible hit for Acura. C-class, wow, huge month, it is a brand new model.

A4 doing well too.

IS doing well too.

1 month does not make a trend. Lets see if it holds up. Its a BRAND new model, its supposed to do real well.

 

Actually, their allocation quoted initially at launch is only 1800 units for the year

 

You forgot to include the ES 350 in the entry level market. The ES 350 and IS 250/350 combined outsold the 3 series which is a fact...

 

September sales for the ES were 6,491 (+15.4%) for 1 model and 1 engine choice.
