November 2013 Sales Thread
what i think is a joke is comparing GS sales to the weak sauce infiniti M, but of course anyone can compare anything to anything.

Thanks Lexfather! My main points:
-Good to see the refreshed E-class is selling well.
-I think more people will choose the CLA once the C-class arrives and moves up and price, although it will face competition from the A3 sedan soon
-Nice jump on Q50 sales. They may be pushing incentives but hey...so do Mercedes and BMW
-X5 and ML are always so close in sales
-Lincoln MKZ is still chugging along
-Cadillac CTS is off to a decent start...lets see if that trend continues

From my understanding CLA sales dropped due to inventory, not due to demand. Demand is off the charts for it as we both know.
Overall for most brands/cars a strong month. Lincoln sadly did not see the leap in sales that the others did.
But hey I called it 4 years ago.

The RLX enjoying the biggest sales increase in the history of the brand (probably industry). Almost 6000%!!! Smashing success! 
Those e-class sales are ridiculous. My friend offered $470 a month and 2k down on a E350 4matic. Not sure what competitors are going for yet but thought that was shocking ( or maybe class average?)

Even though I've never posted in a monthly sales thread, I do come visit the threads every month and I just wanted to say how beautiful COMPETITION really is.
All of these manufacturers competing for market share is really good for the consumers. Great auto products, really!

mercedes killed it jesus
did they give away their cars, or are they really that hot?
CLA is still ugly to my eyes.
Do mercs still have electrical problems?
Lexus has a $499 lease or 1.9% apr on the GS. They can give it away and people will pass it up for an E class.

The car is good but sales are horrendous - there are many reasons for that imo.
LS is selling at almost the same volume. Considering the current LS is just a major refresh of a car that has been on sale since 2007 model year, it is Incredilble its outselling the 7series and Audi A8. Granted those cars are more expensive but still....
New CTS and Genesis will only further hurt the GS sales.
Prob be less than 1,000 units by the end of 2014 model year.
