I get it...and I get it that BMW missed a target by ten cars too, but when it comes to claiming "top selling luxury brand," that flagship isn't really cranking out the numbers.

My feeling is that BMW is yielding to MB in the mid and full size luxury area. Even I'd buy an S Class over a seven, except for the Alpina, and not many of that car come to the States. At least judging by what I see around DC....far more E Class sedans than 5ers.

Of course the CLA is going to outsell the 1er right now...it's a newer model.


All the best.
