honda sold more cr-v's than accords.

 

toyota lexus sales charts:

 

great camry sales - refresh worked!

 

hmm, what happened to the E class sales this month?

 

both Lexus and Toyota are killing it this year, probably record sales this year for the brand. Corolla, Camry, Highlander are all new, Rav4 is growing like crazy and Lexus just got 2 brand new vehicles to sell...

 

new c class? maybe less incentives on e

 

Incentive spending on the C-class is creating some significant space between it and the E350 for the time being. I haven't received much word on whether they're started to ease up on E-class production as they prepare for the W213 and I think its too early for that. What I have heard is that Mercedes is trying to preserve the resale value of the E-class though.

 

Notice the K900 sold 62 units.

 

Is the new E a 2016 or a 2017 model? I was looking to upgrade to the new C but now I have my sights set higher
