Yes, you did inspire me. I got tired of looking at incomplete lists month after month with certain models routinely being left off (Porsche, Jaguar, Land Rover, etc).

I also find your derogatory statement of having "inexperienced views" to be a bit of an inflammatory remark

But you are inexperienced, it shows in your posts. You didn't like my lists lol. Think about that. You are MAD at my lists, that I provided for years for informational purposes. You created one not for information but b/c you hate me. and I'm laughing at you and people are questioning your list.

But I'm very very happy for you, keep up the great work, we all aspire to make a list like you do!

And you are highly inaccurate with much of your information. It shows in your posts. I seem to be the only person on here willing to point these things out to you, but so be it. It's ok, I don't mind doing it

Not really, no.

No, I just didn't think they were very complete.

I posted my list for informational purposes. Don't flatter yourself.

If anyone "questions my list", they can feel free to make suggestions on how to improve it and I will consider changing parts of it.

Lightbulb Kia


Kia Motors America (KMA) today reported best-ever May sales of 52,327 units as 2014 Cadenza and Forte sedans - 2 of the 7 all-new or significantly redesigned Kia vehicles scheduled to launch this calendar year - continue to arrive in showrooms nationwide to both critical and consumer acclaim. The U.S.-built* Optima midsize sedan led Kia's sales for the 18th consecutive month with 15,368 units sold, and together with Sorento CUV, also built in West Point, Georgia*, accounted for more than 40% of Kia's May sales. The Soul urban passenger vehicle also recorded robust monthly sales of 11,420 units.

"At Kia, we are committed to advancing value to new levels of sophistication, and you can see the standout results in the all-new Cadenza, which is the most powerful and technologically-advanced Kia ever in the U.S. market, as well as the 2014 Forte which Motor Trend recently crowned the winner of a head-to-head compact sedan comparison test with some of the industry's most well-known nameplates," said Byung Mo Ahn , group president and CEO of KMA and Kia Motors Manufacturing Georgia. "New customers continue to discover the Kia brand and our award-winning lineup which delivers a lot for the money with European-influenced styling, cutting-edge technologies, premium amenities and outstanding safety features."

Use PM, use the ignore list, I don't care which but this ongoing public bickering is senseless. Let's not rinse and repeat this same mess next month please.

Awful month for Infiniti although it's likely due to their not having many G's left to sell ahead of the Q50 debut. Nissan on the other hand had a tremendous month after Ghosn made his wild comment.

That means the Lexus GS ( 2015 sold ) overtook the Audi A6 ( 1767 sold ) by about 300 units to retake its position as 3rd best selling midsize luxury sedan.

Lexus is posting some pretty good improvements over 2012. For that i am happy.

But it doesnt look like they will reclaim the sales crown this year. They have been behind almost every month, and the two big Germans are beating on earnings with 5-9k more vehicles being sold.

Cmon Lexus!

its not possible for Lexus to regain it without completely new models, like NX and RC.... MB and BMW simply have too many vehicles.
