Thanks for the chart! The ES is missing though ;( pulling 6,239 units.

Best way to classify them would be to combine the ES+IS+RC as the ES is pretty much the comfy ride while IS the sporty one.

No problem. I'll add the ES to the entry level category, but won't be combining it with the IS & RC. I made that column so different body styles of the same car could be included in one tally (i.e. 3-series sedan, 4-series coupe/vert/GC).

Wow a major swing from BMW at #1 last year to MB now #1 with Lexus holding consistently at a high #2 both years. Lexus is primed for #1. I don't know why the GS isn't really connecting with mainstream buyers, is it the spindle? (though the spindle does well for other models). I personally have an issue with how the GS is packaged and how the F-Sport only allows some super sporty feel and no luxury, its what keeps me personally from getting one.

I believe the CT is another factor, it started off well, maybe it just got too old. Anybody know when we can expect any new CT or CT replacement concept and/or reveals?

LUXURY: Mercedes recaptures crown after 2-year hiatus
January 4, 2017 @ 6:15 pm

Mercedes finished the year with a 16.8 percent share of the U.S. luxury market. It last won the U.S. luxury title in 2013. Photo credit: DAVID PHILLIPSSend us a Letter

Mercedes took the 2016 U.S. luxury title even though its sales for the year declined, but the results were still strong enough to beat Lexus and last year’s winner, BMW.

The Daimler AG unit said its U.S. sales fell 0.8 percent to 340,237 in 2016, with December sales dropping 6.4 percent to 32,011 vehicles. Mercedes finished the year with a 16.8 percent share of the U.S. luxury market. It last won the luxury title in 2013.

Toyota’s Lexus brand said 2016 U.S. sales slipped 3.9 percent to 331,228 vehicles. Lexus, behind year-end discounts, topped the segment in December even with sales dropping 0.5 percent to 41,182 vehicles. The brand finished the year with a 16.4 percent share of luxury sales.

BMW’s namesake brand finished a distant 3rd in 2016 with sales slipping 9.5 percent to 313,174 vehicles. Sales fell 5.2 percent in December to 32,835. It finished the year with a 15.5 percent market share. BMW won the U.S. luxury sales crown in 2014 and 2015.

Audi’s 2016 U.S. sales improved 4 percent to 210,213 vehicles -- good for 4th place.

Cadillac, Acura, Infiniti and Lincoln rounded out the next 4 spots in luxury sales.


Hyundai’s new Genesis luxury brand, which was launched in the U.S. in August, finished the year with sales of 6,948 vehicles -- a 0.3 percent share of the market.

Jaguar had the biggest annual gain -- 116 percent -- of all luxury brands last year, with U.S. volume rising to 31,243 behind the launch of the brand’s 1st crossover, the F-Pace.

Note: Mercedes results do not include Sprinter or Metris sales. BMW results do not include the Mini brand.

U.S. industry sets new high behind solid GM, Nissan, Honda gains

SAAR hits 2016 peak of 18.38 million

U.S. light-vehicle sales, led by fatter discounts, strong light-truck demand and solid gains at General Motors, Nissan and Honda in December, hit a record high in 2016.

Overall sales rose by more than 56,000, or 0.3 percent, over the 2015 record. It was the 7th straight year of sales gains, an impressive streak and rebound for an industry that was down on its heels during the Great Recession. Volume rose 3 percent in December, well ahead of forecasts, pushing 2016's final sales tally to 17,539,052 cars and light trucks.

The seasonally adjusted, annualized sales rate hit 18.38 million, the highest pace of the year and fifth-highest of all time.

Prior to today's results, analysts polled by Bloomberg projected that industrywide deliveries would come in at a seasonally adjusted annualized rate of 17.6 million.

U.S. light-vehicle sales totaled 15.85 million through November. That was just 6,418 ahead of the year-earlier pace, a clear sign the market had hit a plateau. Yet there was apparently more steam left for December than analysts expected.

Company by company

Volume rose 10 percent at GM for a second straight month. Nissan Motor Co. advanced 9.7 percent and American Honda posted a 6.4 percent gain. Toyota Motor Corp. rose 2 percent and Ford Motor Co. edged up 0.1 percent, while Fiat Chrysler recorded its third straight double-digit decline.

All 4 of GM’s U.S. brands rose. Chevrolet led the way with a 13 percent increase, followed by GMC (5.8 percent), Cadillac (3.2 percent) and Buick (2.8 percent).

GM said its rental sales rose in December but finished 2016 down nearly 74,000 vehicles, or 18 percent, compared with 2015. The company said its retail deliveries -- a key priority in recent years -- rose more than 3 percent last month.

Nissan Motor's December increase reflected an 8.3 percent gain at its namesake division and a 21 percent jump at Infiniti.

The Nissan division set an all-time record with 1,426,130 U.S. sales in 2016, up 5.5 percent. And in a sign of how strong light-truck demand has become across the industry, the Rogue crossover topped the Altima sedan to become Nissan’s top-selling U.S. model for the first time, with 2016 sales of 329,904, or an increase of 15 percent.

Volume rose 6.9 percent at the Honda division and 1.9 percent at Acura. For the year, Honda Division's U.S. sales rose 4.8 percent to a record 1,476,582.

At Ford Motor, sales were off 0.8 percent at the Ford division and up 18 percent at Lincoln. Toyota said volume edged up 2.6 percent at the Toyota division but slipped 0.5 percent at Lexus last month.

Deliveries dropped 10 percent at FCA US behind a 6 percent decline at Jeep and a 34 percent drop in fleet shipments. Ram was the only FCA US brand to gain last month, with a 10 percent rise. Jeep and Ram posted U.S. sales records last year.

Volume dropped 1.9 percent at Hyundai but rose 0.2 percent at Kia.
GM today estimated the December SAAR at 18.2 million, which would deliver a record year for the industry. Photo credit: DAVID PHILLIPS
Sales rose for the 2nd straight month at the VW brand, but declined 7.6 percent for the year. At Mazda, volume dipped 1.8 percent last month. December deliveries dropped 6.4 percent at Mitsubishi and 7 percent at Mini.

Forecasts

The December results among major automakers topped many forecasts. GM sales were predicted to rise 4.4 percent, based on the average analyst estimate compiled by Bloomberg. Deliveries at Fiat Chrysler, which has discontinued compact and midsize sedans, were projected to drop 14 percent. Volumes at Ford, Toyota, Honda and Nissan were all forecast to slip less than 3 percent.

Among other brands, Infiniti, Kia, Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai, Subaru, Audi and Porsche also set annual U.S. sales records in 2016.

Light trucks, led by crossovers, continue to drive the market and accounted for a record 60.7 percent of all light-vehicle deliveries in 2016. For the year, car demand skidded 8.9 percent while light-truck demand advanced 7.4 percent.

Last month featured 1 fewer selling day than December 2015 and one more weekend.

Automakers and dealers used heavy promotions and generous deals to lure consumers to showrooms last month. A post-election bounce in U.S. equity markets also provided a lift to industry sales in December, some analysts say.

“Key economic indicators, especially consumer confidence, continue to reflect optimism about the U.S. economy and strong customer demand continues to drive a very healthy U.S. auto industry,” Mustafa Mohatarem, GM’s chief economist, said today. “We believe the U.S. auto industry remains well-positioned for sales to continue at or near record levels in 2017.”

Incentives

ALG estimates that average incentives on new vehicles spiked 20 percent to $3,673 last month compared with December 2015. (See chart below.) Among the biggest spenders on December discounts were the Detroit 3 and Volkswagen Group. Even Subaru, which has been able to offer some of the industry’s leanest new-vehicle deals, saw average incentives more than double to $1,162 last month, ALG says.

Since the 2008-09 Great Recession, U.S. light-vehicle sales have grown by more than a million units a year on average while delivering seven straight annual gains, the longest streak since 1909-17.

Pent-up demand, more leasing, favorable finance deals and steady job growth have driven new-vehicle sales since the downturn.

But analysts warn that rising interest rates and a peaking retail market will force automakers to cut production this year.

“Substantial incentive hikes ... haven’t resulted in retail growth, while inventories continue to grow,” said Tim Fleming, an analyst at Kelley Blue Book. “An increasing supply of used cars, especially off-lease units, is already putting pressure on residual values, which could impact the sustainability of today’s high levels of leasing. We are looking for manufacturers to cut production in the new year to better match slowing consumer demand and alleviate the need for elevated incentives.”

G Star, I have believed since the current GS was released, the drivetrain, primarily the motor hold back sales. Give it a turbo 3.5 V6 and see the numbers pop up

This is a bit of a Lexus issue, not a GS issue, as pretty much all F Sport packages require giving up some of the luxury features, with, in my opinion, the IS being the worst offender. When I bought my IS I avoided the F Sport package because you couldn't get things like ventilated seats (added in 15), memory seats, etc. The GS F Sport doesn't make you give up too much.

I'm not exactly sure why GS sales are so lackluster, but I know good lease deals are harder to come by on them, and availability, at least around me, still stinks. I was at my dealer last week and they didn't even have one new GS on the lot. I think someone comes in for a mid size sedan they just automatically stick them in an ES.

not that impressive because i'd bet ATP for lexus are WAY lower than mb and bmw.

i don't think the refresh 'helped', plus lexus 'packaging' AND availability across all lexus models has always been an issue - it's just the Toyota/Lexus way to control inventory and manufacturing EXTREMELY tightly. obviously if your products are in high demand it's not much of an issue (you still sell everything you make at good margins and low incentives), but if it isn't, it becomes a self-fulling problem as people who were somewhat interested in a lexus end up either turning to other brands that have a broader selection or ordering flexibility, or they must be enticed to buy with large incentives, hurting profitability.

I believe the CT is another factor, it started off well, maybe it just got too old. Anybody know when we can expect any new CT or CT replacement concept and/or reveals?
hybrids overall are down, but the CT is definitely old, plus it's cramped, very slow, and not luxurious, so it's no surprise to me that it doesn't sell well. the hs was a much better drive and more luxurious, it just looked fugly.

yup and you're not alone. again, lexus packaging/options inflexibility WILL hurt sales if they're not in HOT demand.

I was at my dealer last week and they didn't even have one new GS on the lot. I think someone comes in for a mid size sedan they just automatically stick them in an ES.
wow - hard to see how a dealer can sell a car they don't have on the lot! but dealers will always take the easiest path (can't blame them) to see what sells the most easily, (ES, RX, NX, IS).

I believe it is mainly because the average buyer wont understand fwd, rwd, etc. When they walk into the showroom, it is difficult to ignore than the ES is just as good a mid sized sedan as the GS, and actually has more rear leg room and trunk space (?), while costing thousands less. It all boils down to this.

Default Atp


I was able to find the ATP average for overall brands (Honda, Toyota) but not individual brands (Acura, Lexus): http://mediaroom.kbb.com/2017-01-04-...ok?printable=1

GoodCarBadCar has some helpful info tho: http://www.goodcarbadcar.net/2017/01...ury-autos.html

The Top 15 Luxury Sales for 2016: Lexus gets 3 entry level vehicles (RX, ES, NX) whereas Mercedes gets 1 entry (Cclass) & 2 middle level (Eclass & GLE). This would suggest Mercedes ATP is higher.

Their Top 15 for vehicles that start over $50,000 shows 1 Lexus (GX) @ #9 & 4 Mercedes: GLE (#1), E (#2), GLS (#7) & Sclass (#11). Again, suggesting a higher ATP average.

BMW did not have that great of a year so they have a less of a showing than Mercedes in the charts.
