Small and Midsize Luxury Car Sales in U.S. - October 2013 YTD


GOOD CAR BAD CAR


YOY Benz E-Class Sales Have Risen
27.5% During The Last Three Months
Audi sold not two, not three, not four, but one Audi A3 in October 2013. 

Of course, Audi dealers in America don't really have any A3s to sell. The A3 sedan arrives in a few months with a very attractive exterior, a nice array of features, and, obviously, the Audi badge. 

In the meantime, buyers looking for affordable Audis choose the A4 or, more often, the Q5. or every BMW 3-Series/4-Series buyer in America last month, Audi sold 2.4 A4s, Allroads, and A5s.

Between the C-Class and new CLA, Mercedes-Benz didn't find quite as many entry-level luxury buyers as BMW did with the 3-Series and 4-Series, and that doesn't take into account BMW's 588 1-Series buyers. Combined, the C-Class and CLA-Class generated 11,443 sales in October. 

The CLA's presence may adversely affect the C-Class, which was down 14% in October after falling 19% in September, the CLA's first month of availability. But Mercedes-Benz is still selling more cars with their lineup expansion. Total C-Class/CLA-Class sales were 50% stronger than what Mercedes-Benz managed a year ago with the C-Class.
