Still have to root for Audi although they just can't get serious market traction. All the excuses for the big guys don't seem to apply to Audi. Really not bad considering the economy.
And of course the Q5 is just going to start coming on (can't say that the Q7 has lit many fires) and the A6 refresh is out after the first of the year so let's all hold hands and repeat the mantra "they are in limited supply". Normally the favorite excuse for sales declines.

WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J., Nov. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- The BMW Group in the U.S.
(BMW and MINI combined) reported October sales of 25,475 vehicles, a
decrease of 5.0 percent over the 26,821 vehicles sold in October 2007. The
BMW Group also reported a year-to-date sales volume of 261,802 vehicles,
down 4.8 percent, compared to 275,094 vehicles in the same period of 2007.

"October sales show there is still life in the market, but it will take
some hard work to achieve results," said Jim O'Donnell, President of BMW of
North America, LLC. "At BMW, our attractive APR financing rates and BMW's
four year or 50,000 miles free maintenance program have been well received
by customers. We believe these are major reasons why the year-to-date sales
continue to track better than the overall premium market."

to the 35,306 cars reported in the first ten months of 2007.
"We are looking at MINI's continued sales success as a barometer of
changing consumer habits," said Jim McDowell, Vice-President of MINI USA.
"The frenzy of a couple of months ago of dumping large vehicles has abated,
but our persistent and ongoing demand seems to be saying small is the new
big."

Sales of BMW's Certified Pre-Owned vehicles are down 0.8 percent, to
7,937 CPO vehicles versus 7,998 vehicles reported last October.

Mazda Reports October 2008 Sales
- MAZDA5 Records its Best October Ever -
IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Mazda North American Operations
(MNAO) today reported October 2008 sales of 16,442, down 25.9 percent
versus last year, and year-to-date sales of 231,850, down 7.5 percent.
Bucking the sales trend with an incredible sales month was the MAZDA5
multi-activity vehicle. With sales of 1,921, volume was up nearly four
times over 2007. On a year-to-date basis, the MAZDA5 is up an astonishing
51.8 percent.
"Whether the auto industry mirrors the state of business in general, or
whether business mirrors the industry, is hard to say. What is sure,
though, is that it's a roller-coaster ride every day -- one day it looks
like we're turning the corner while the next it seems that the hill ahead
is ever-steeper," said Jim O'Sullivan, president and CEO, MNAO. "Cars like
MAZDA5, though, are proof that Mazda's vehicle lineup is as strong as any
manufacturers', and we're in a great position to gain when the market
turns." The all-new 2009 MAZDA6, which arrived at dealerships across the
country in September, continues its strong start. The new MAZDA6 features a
larger body than the outgoing car, as well as more powerful -- and more
fuel efficient -- engine choices.
Mazda Motor de Mexico (MMdM) celebrated its best-ever October with
sales of 1,994 vehicles, up 30 percent versus last year. On a year-to-date
basis, MMdM reported 17,299 total sales, accounting for a 33 percent
increase versus last year. The all-new MAZDA6 also had a record month with
393 vehicles sold, up 125 percent versus last October. Mazda Canada Inc.
(MCI) reported September sales of 6,109 units, up slightly compared to
October 2007.
Headquartered in Irvine, Calif., Mazda North American Operations
oversees the sales, marketing, parts and customer service support of Mazda
vehicles in the United States, Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico through
nearly 900 dealers. Operations in Canada are managed by Mazda Canada, Inc.,
located in Ontario; in Mexico by Mazda Motor de Mexico in Mexico City; and
in Puerto Rico by Mazda de Puerto Rico in San Juan.

Chrysler LLC Reports October 2008 U.S. Sales; Continues Aggressive Customer Discounts
AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Nov. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
-- Chrysler celebrates the 25th anniversary of the minivan, which
continues to be a dominating force in the market
-- Dodge Challenger and Journey continue to draw consumer attention
-- Jeep(R) Patriot sales increased two percent compared to September
2008 and 62 percent year-to-date compared to same timeframe in 2007
-- Incentives program extended into November - offers solid deals on
both 2008 and 2009 model year vehicles
-- 2009 model year Chrysler Sebring, 300 and Dodge Avenger lineups
modified to emphasize fuel economy and value
Chrysler LLC today reported total October 2008 U.S. sales of 94,530
units, down 35 percent from the same month last year. Sales for October
reflect an overall industry decline and reduced fleet sales.
"While October was a very tough month for everyone in this business, we
as an industry must focus on the fact that there are still many serious car
buyers out there, and every company has an equal opportunity to win their
business," said Jim Press, Chrysler LLC Vice Chairman and President. "From
a Chrysler perspective, we are pleased that despite this marketplace
downturn, our critically important Dodge Ram launch is on schedule and our
overall pickup truck share is on target. We look forward to rolling out the
rest of our 2009 model year vehicles with improved quality and fuel economy
and fighting for those customers who are in the market."
October Sales Highlights
Sales for the light duty Dodge Ram (down 21%), which are still
dominated by the sell-down of 2008 models, outperformed the market in
October. Sales of the vehicle for the month reached 10,747 units, making it
the Company's top-selling vehicle.
Jeep(R) Patriot sales increased 62 percent year-to-date (50,596 units)
compared to same timeframe in 2007 (31,248 units). October sales of the
vehicle grew two percent versus September 2008 sales (3,252 units in
October compared to 3,190 units in September).
The all-new Dodge Journey continues to make its mark in the crossover
segment offering best-in-class fuel economy (19 mpg city/25 mpg highway)
and award-winning seven-passenger interior utility. Dodge Journey sales
totaled 4,380 units.
Dodge Challenger continues to draw a crowd. In October, 3,014 units
were sold, marking a 27 percent increase over September 2008 sales.
The Company finished the month with 395,996 units of inventory, or a
113-day supply. As part of a planned alignment with the market for in
manufacturing production, inventory is down 16 percent compared with
October 2007 when it totaled 469,426 units.
November Incentives
In November, Chrysler will continue to offer the attractive incentive
programs that were introduced last month. These deals provide customers an
opportunity to take advantage of the remaining 2008 model year inventory at
the best deals of the year. The incentive plan will focus on aggressive
cash rebates up to $6,000 and discounted APR financing that drive lower
monthly payments.
In addition to the significant cash incentives, in select markets some
2008 model year vehicles are available with a 0% APR for up to 72 months;
and 2009 model year vehicles are available with a 1.9% to 4.9% APR for 72
months.
For returning lease customers, Chrysler will offer a Lease Loyalty
allowance of up to $750 toward a new retail purchase. For consumers
interested in leasing through independent financial institutions, Chrysler
offers Bonus Cash of up to $2,000 on select 2008 model year vehicles.
Product Highlights
Chrysler is modifying three 2009 model year vehicle lineups to provide
an added emphasis on higher value and content, expanded availability of
fuel efficient engines, and upgraded exterior appearance and improved
interior materials. On Chrysler Sebring, Chrysler 300 and Dodge Avenger,
Chrysler is providing customers with better equipped, fuel efficient
entry-level models with a value emphasis. These entry-level models have
been upgraded to higher trim and content levels at discounted pricing.
Also, availability of fuel efficient powertrains has been expanded on
top-of-the-line models for those customers who want more product features
without sacrificing fuel economy.
Of the total 2009 MY Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge lineup, 73 percent of the
models achieved fuel-economy improvements over the 2008 offerings. The fuel
economy improvements on these nineteen models will potentially save
American consumers as much as 6.7 million gallons of fuel per year.
Chrysler LLC celebrates the 25th anniversary of minivan sales today in
Windsor, Ontario (Canada). The Company remains the leading competitor in
the segment, accounting for 40 percent of the minivan market (January -
September 2008). Today, the Company introduced the 2009 Chrysler Town &

continues to be a dominating force in the market

Chrysler LLC today reported total October 2008 U.S. sales of 94,530
units, down 35 percent from the same month last year. Sales for October
reflect an overall industry decline and reduced fleet sales.
"While October was a very tough month for everyone in this business, we
as an industry must focus on the fact that there are still many serious car
buyers out there, and every company has an equal opportunity to win their
business," said Jim Press, Chrysler LLC Vice Chairman and President. "From
a Chrysler perspective, we are pleased that despite this marketplace
downturn, our critically important Dodge Ram launch is on schedule and our
overall pickup truck share is on target. We look forward to rolling out the
rest of our 2009 model year vehicles with improved quality and fuel economy
and fighting for those customers who are in the market."
October Sales Highlights
Sales for the light duty Dodge Ram (down 21%), which are still
dominated by the sell-down of 2008 models, outperformed the market in
October. Sales of the vehicle for the month reached 10,747 units, making it
the Company's top-selling vehicle.
Jeep(R) Patriot sales increased 62 percent year-to-date (50,596 units)
compared to same timeframe in 2007 (31,248 units). October sales of the
vehicle grew two percent versus September 2008 sales (3,252 units in
October compared to 3,190 units in September).
The all-new Dodge Journey continues to make its mark in the crossover
segment offering best-in-class fuel economy (19 mpg city/25 mpg highway)
and award-winning seven-passenger interior utility. Dodge Journey sales
totaled 4,380 units.
Dodge Challenger continues to draw a crowd. In October, 3,014 units
were sold, marking a 27 percent increase over September 2008 sales.
The Company finished the month with 395,996 units of inventory, or a
113-day supply. As part of a planned alignment with the market for in
manufacturing production, inventory is down 16 percent compared with
October 2007 when it totaled 469,426 units.
November Incentives
In November, Chrysler will continue to offer the attractive incentive
programs that were introduced last month. These deals provide customers an
opportunity to take advantage of the remaining 2008 model year inventory at
the best deals of the year. The incentive plan will focus on aggressive
cash rebates up to $6,000 and discounted APR financing that drive lower
monthly payments.
In addition to the significant cash incentives, in select markets some
2008 model year vehicles are available with a 0% APR for up to 72 months;
and 2009 model year vehicles are available with a 1.9% to 4.9% APR for 72
months.
For returning lease customers, Chrysler will offer a Lease Loyalty
allowance of up to $750 toward a new retail purchase. For consumers
interested in leasing through independent financial institutions, Chrysler
offers Bonus Cash of up to $2,000 on select 2008 model year vehicles.
Product Highlights
Chrysler is modifying three 2009 model year vehicle lineups to provide
an added emphasis on higher value and content, expanded availability of
fuel efficient engines, and upgraded exterior appearance and improved
interior materials. On Chrysler Sebring, Chrysler 300 and Dodge Avenger,
Chrysler is providing customers with better equipped, fuel efficient
entry-level models with a value emphasis. These entry-level models have
been upgraded to higher trim and content levels at discounted pricing.
Also, availability of fuel efficient powertrains has been expanded on
top-of-the-line models for those customers who want more product features
without sacrificing fuel economy.
Of the total 2009 MY Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge lineup, 73 percent of the
models achieved fuel-economy improvements over the 2008 offerings. The fuel
economy improvements on these nineteen models will potentially save
American consumers as much as 6.7 million gallons of fuel per year.
Chrysler LLC celebrates the 25th anniversary of minivan sales today in
Windsor, Ontario (Canada). The Company remains the leading competitor in
the segment, accounting for 40 percent of the minivan market (January -
September 2008). Today, the Company introduced the 2009 Chrysler Town &
Country and Dodge Grand Caravan 25th Anniversary Editions to celebrate the
minivan segment's Silver Anniversary. 25th Anniversary models will be
available this winter as special editions of the 2009 Chrysler Town &
Country and Dodge Grand Caravan.
