2012 will mark the first full year of luxury four-door coupe sales engagement in the United States. The second-generation Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class was not able to keep up with the all-new Audi A7 at the end of 2011 and the Audi finished the year with a 605-unit victory. January 2012 began with another victory for the Audi A7. With eleven months remaining, the Mercedes-Benz CLS spotted the Audi A7 61 sales.
Among more mainstream luxury sedans, Mercedes-Benz secures a victory with the E-Class nearly every month. It helps that Mercedes-Benz comes to a knife fight with a gun, knife, sword, and pepper spray (via the E-Class sedan, E-Class coupe, E-Class convertible, and E-Class wagon) when others show up in sedan form only. But don't use that to underestimate the E-Class's popularity, even when sales fall 14% year-over-year.
The second-best-selling midsize luxury car in America, BMW's 5-Series, was down 26% in January 2012. Only the awful Bad 8-losing Acura RL, the Lexus GS - still waiting for the next-gen car - and the dead Cadillac STS fared worse than the BMW when compared with sales from January 2011.
