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.

Genesis benefitting from those Monday Night Football halftime shows.  Although they still only sold 2,000 cars.

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!!

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?

wow- core sedans tanking hard!

[Drew Dowdell]

Updated with MB numbers. 

[smk4565]

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.
