    Be interesting to see MB reported numbers compared to BMW. If they are down again, as they have been doing pretty much all year, I would say they are in a slump and needs some major mojo change to get going again.

    Mercedes outsold BMW in November, and is now positive for the year.

    E-class outsold 5-series

    S-class outsold 7-series

    AMG GT outsold 8-series

    GLC outsold X3

    GLE outsold X5

    GLS outsold X7  

    G-wagen sales up 70% 

    Mercedes-AMG models up 18.9%

    Nissan/Infiniti obviously still in a death spiral. Can't see how NIMOCO can sustain the consistently deep red sales numbers for much longer. If they can't get in the green this time of the year with all the model year end close outs then they might as well close up shop.

    SMART "car" we're all going to miss you...NOT!! :violin:

    I bet Renault/Nissan is wishing they had that FCA merger right about now.  Because not only are their sales in a spiral, they rely a lot on rental fleets for Nissan/Infiniti sales also, so they aren't even profitable sales.   Infiniti has nothing in their line up, that brand is more dead in the water than Lincoln was a couple years ago.  Really they are a lot like FCA in terms of product offering but don't have the storied brand names like Jeep or Alfa Romeo in the stable or have the marketing ability that Dodge has to keep older than dirt product alive with trim packages, styling tweaks and Hellcat engines, etc.

    Really you have solid hard facts to back this up before the company actually releases their sales numbers?

    All sedans are pretty much tanking hard, it is sad to see.  I do wonder about the future collector car market, I can’t imagine any millennials will want a 60s muscle car, or any old car.  What’s collectible now may be worthless in 30 years.  And what are the future collectibles?  Mostly everything sold is an SUV, even Lamborghini and Porsche sell mostly SUVs that will just get used up and disposed of.

    Hopefully my Trailblazer SS will become collectible.

      I hate to say stuff like this, but you can profile people fairly easily.  A certain emboldened member with a smaller view of the world used to get on my case about this ... go see the world and learn to make inferences.  At any rate, I was boarding a plane in Jacksonville and, in front of me, was a guy with a baseball cap and all I could see was the rear camo effect.  When he got up, I saw Trump 2024.  I felt like saying something to him, along the lines of how is it that the most conservative people support the most depraved individual.  I thought I should skip it since I didn't want to end up in an argument and on a "do not fly" list for some airline.  He was white with salt and pepper hair but had that Charles Bronson brow.  So, you know ... ex-military, high paying trades, utilities, government job ... or alligator trapper.  For all these so-called conservative people, we've never had a first lady (lower case in her case) where you're a "k**t hair" away from seeing the R/X rated stuff.  I'm originally from SoCal and NOTHING shocks me, but that and the whole circus of everyone involved - extended family, loyal friends - is over the line for me for the job at hand. Houston is not my favorite place.  However, I handle it much better than Dallas or San Antonio, which don't interest me.  I don't like their interior location and the brushy looking mesquite.  Houston has a distinct and attractive downtown.  There's the Space Center.  There are the museums, of which MFAH is free one day of the week.  There's Galveston, and even if the not the nicest beach, water can be so therapeutic, just watching the cruise ships or freight ships come and go.  Lastly, there are some beautiful neighborhoods, with newer homes in the darker red brick, completely hidden under a pine canopy, which is never the case in other big Texas cities.  It reminds of Atlanta, which I very much liked.  So, between that, and the welcoming and freewheeling people, I can hang in H-town for a while and find new indie coffeehouses and eateries.  There's so much food and it's easy to gain weight there.  I agree ... I hate Orlando FL ... a bad knock-off of Las Vegas and Las Vegas is already bad. I've never been to Hawai'i and Alaska.  I'm not so sure I'm interested.  If I have to fly that far, I'll just cross a pond.  I also have an issue with Hawaiians since some of the locals of Samoan stock have issues with "haolis," having heard this from white folks I knew who moved there and then came back because of the passive-aggressive discrimination.  The only states I have never set foot in are a cluster in the middle and they're not that pressing for me - ND, SD, Nebraska, and Montana.  So, I'm at 44 of them and that's good enough for now.

      The question I am hearing from more and more Americans: "Can we RECALL the President and VP?" Sadly, NO is the answer. It would take a motion to add to our constitution to allow a recall of the folks as even the Senate and House members are protected with no way to recall them either.  Interesting is that most states have in their constitution the ability to recall state politicians including the Governor that has happened in a few states over the last Century. Most recent was California.
