Really good month all around.  Business booming over at Mercedes, Infiniti is really tanking, that brand has almost nothing desirable, I wonder how many of their sales are Q50 rental fleet cars.

"Business is booming over at Mercedes".

 

-Lost billions recently

-Cutting models

-Still down for the year

-One really good month (only when compared to the crap month a year ago)

 

Maybe that good month is because of firesafe lease offers like these.

Naaaaah. Couldn't be that. Maybe this is proof that there are semi-professional fluffers out there for Mercedes.

 

There is a certain irony brining up Q50s as rental cars when...

Doesn't mean that. The pie could have just been bigger all around. It isn't a static number.

We will know for sure in what 4 or 5 weeks time.

In any case, all automakers use August to clear inventory to make room for the new cars heading to dealer lots.  No need for any of us to concern ourselves.
