1. Grand Cherokee, despite being expensive, is leading the sales charts!
2. I guess everyone who couldn't buy an S-class due to the production turnover bought a 7-series
3. MDX is still selling well
4. Caravan and Town & Country on top this month
5. Nissan Rogue is ancient and still outselling many newer models
6. Dodge Dart sales are continuing to improve, while the excellent Forte has yet to gain traction

Not sure how the ILX is vs the CT when the A3 which is the CT's direct competitor in the list below it. ILX vs Verano is the battle, that is what the industry recognizes, they have gone head to head in comparisons. The RX and QX50 are not cute-utes either, they are mid size SUVs.
Outside those Lexus mistakes, solid list.

Point 1, never having ridden in one, but I gotta say they really got the styling right on the Grand Cherokee. Its modern, tough looking, yet sort looks friendly enough for moms to drive. And the interior isn't bad either.

I can't believe you said the CLA was sold for 10 days
Top 10
for bmw, the 528 has 241hp, and the 535 has 302hp. yup, they are probably underrated but that's what on paper, and not to forget the weight of the car. for mb, the e350 has 302hp as well. (on a very funny look, on bmwusa.com the 5 series weight now says 5100lb. sounds very painful
http://www.bmwusa.com/Standard/Conte...fications.aspx)the gs350 has 306hp.
so i am not sure if power is a problem on the gs. i personally think it has pretty adequate power. it's a debate that goes on for ages. i won't count on the day the gs sales can get close to the 5 and e, but looking at the gs sales itself, i think it has to do with the es (noticeable), marketing (major), and possible slightly lack of image (debatable). in some way i wonder how the lack of v8 (let alone a true amg / m fighter) has to do with it, not on sales number but from a image / status point of view. don't know the answer to that, but it's in the back of my head
it seems like lexus is trying to push pretty hard on the new IS right now. there are quite a few negative information i don't want to share, but i am interested in seeing how the IS sales number goes in the coming 3 months (basically the first 6 months of sales)

for bmw, the 528 has 241hp, and the 535 has 302hp. yup, they are probably underrated but that's what on paper, and not to forget the weight of the car. for mb, the e350 has 302hp as well. (on a very funny look, on bmwusa.com the 5 series weight now says 5100lb. sounds very painful
http://www.bmwusa.com/Standard/Conte...fications.aspx)the gs350 has 306hp.
so i am not sure if power is a problem on the gs. i personally think it has pretty adequate power. it's a debate that goes on for ages. i won't count on the day the gs sales can get close to the 5 and e, but looking at the gs sales itself, i think it has to do with the es (noticeable), marketing (major), and possible slightly lack of image (debatable). in some way i wonder how the lack of v8 (let alone a true amg / m fighter) has to do with it, not on sales number but from a image / status point of view. don't know the answer to that, but it's in the back of my head
it seems like lexus is trying to push pretty hard on the new IS right now. there are quite a few negative information i don't want to share, but i am interested in seeing how the IS sales number goes in the coming 3 months (basically the first 6 months of sales)

Right, but the real issue with the GS is its interior room, particularly in the rear. Granted the 4GS has improved quite a bit from the 3GS in this regard but so has the competition. Most people buy midsized sedans for practicality, and the GS is simply noticeably more cramped than the E, 5, A6 and, of course, the ES, not to mention that the E, 5 and A6 all have folding rear seats. "Fun to drive" simply isn't high in priority for most people in the real world. Practicality is.
So now goalposts changed...used to be all about "Fun to drive" and now its about back seat room now that the GS drives sportiest?
