@smk4565 Where are all of the positives? 

[Drew Dowdell]

It was a pretty decent month for M-B actually. 

[ccap41]

Yeah, I was looking all the way over to the YTD comparisons column.

Correct, it was actually a very good month. My mistake.

Up 22.9% without a GLS to sell really as they clear out the left over models from the old generation.  Back in business here, GLE is doing really well now with the new one, and G-wagon and AGM GT are going well which is good when the big money stuff sells.  Could use more C-class sales.

Sedans in general are on the wrong end of a smack down.  Hence why all the growth is in the GL class.
