it has to be more than just close out sales, unless they offering 10k off. Looking at previous month's it was around 13-14k regularly. Last month, 17 and this month 21k. Those are huge jumps over the course of 2 months. Maybe they found a way to supply more Highlanders as well?

Mercedes-Benz sold the most luxury autos in the U.S. again in November, virtually guaranteeing that the Daimler AG brand will take the full-year title from BMW.

Sales of the Mercedes GLC sport utility vehicle more than tripled while C-class car deliveries held steady, giving the brand a 1.1 percent increase for the month to 30,363, according to a statement today. Toyota Motor Corp. said Lexus slipped 1 percent to 29,050, and BMW AG reported an 18 percent drop to 26,189 for its namesake brand.

Mercedes is offering more SUVs and in a broader price range, said Rebecca Lindland, senior analyst at Kelley Blue Book. “They have a sense of how to make them attainable without losing that sense of luxury,” which is giving Mercedes a competitive advantage, she said.

With only 1 month to go, Mercedes leads Lexus by more than 18,000 and BMW by about 28,000. A Mercedes victory for the year would recapture the crown BMW claimed in 2015 and 2014. The 2 German automakers have held the top spot in U.S. luxury sales since 2011, when BMW ended Lexus’s 11-year reign.

Through November, sales by Daimler’s brand with the 3-pointed star logo slipped 0.2 percent to 308,226. Lexus deliveries declined 4.3 percent to 290,046 and BMW’s dropped 10 percent to 280,339. The tallies exclude Daimler’s Smart cars and Mercedes work vans, as well as BMW’s Mini line, because they aren’t luxury vehicles.

a 'crown' that only forums, some auto press, and MAYBE the manufacturers care about.

so if lexus 'lost the crown' in 2011 after having it for 11 years, that means they had it for years 2000-2010. i bought my last lexus in 2000 and sold it in 2006. sadly i never went back. but i want to.

i think if the GX/LX were updated and more efficient (more like a Q7 for example) i'd be into one. the rx is too funky and the nx is too small. not interested in any of the sedans at this time, and by the sales numbers seems i'm not alone (IS/ES doing ok though).

come on lexus - step it up!!

RXSF

You really got to hand it to Mercedes. The Lexus underdog story was really great in the early 2000s, but here we have the arguably the best mainstream luxury brand changing everything around over a decade and being back on top. Another great story.
