In July 2014, BMW USA continued to take advantage of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class's transition from one model to the next to increase the 3-Series/4-Series' market share in America. C-Class sales fell 25%, year-over-year, a loss of 1904 units. 3-Series/4-Series volume was up 26%, a gain of 2607 units.

Like the C-Class, sales of the Audi A4 also decreased. Mercedes-Benz added 2378 sales via the CLA, however, meaning more Cs and CLAs were sold in the United States in July 2014 than in July 2013. Audi added 2164 sales with the A3, meaning more A3s and A4s were sold in July 2014 than in July 2013.
July was the first time since March, when the new A3 was just beginning to arrive in America, that the Mercedes-Benz CLA outsold its Audi rival. With only two doors in its entry-level 2-Series alternative, BMW sold only 638 copies in July.
Up a notch or three in terms of size and price, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class range outsold the BMW 5-Series by 972 units in July. Without the premium positioning of the E-Class and 5-Series, Lexus sold a similarly large number of ES sedans. Lexus's true E-Class rival, the GS, was up 16% to 2001 units in July, just the fourth month above 2000 units for the GS in the last year.
Visiting GCBC Towers this week is Cadillac's new CTS V Sport. With availability improving, the CTS seems poised for a breakout sales month. Thus far, the new CTS hasn't exactly set the sales charts on fire, falling 29% in July in a year-over-year comparison that surely wouldn't favour the new upmarket car.

^ BMW USA, not GCBC, has decided to combine sales figures for the 3-Series and 4-Series, the 1-Series and 2-Series. Acura has done the same with the new RLX and old RL.
^ A4 includes Allroad, without which A4 sales were down 9% to 2717 in July; down 3% to 20,116 YTD.
^ Jointly, Q50 and G sedan sales were up 47% to 3801 in July; up 42% to 30,248 YTD. Total G, Q60, Q50 sales were up 31% to 4483 in July; up 27% to 34,950 YTD.
GCBC isn't here to break down segments, an impossible task for any group, but to display sales data for the sake of comparison. The more ways sales data can be displayed, the better. This explains why you'll see the Acura ILX here but also with mainstream cars like the Buick Verano, too, and the Audi A5 is also displayed with coupes and convertibles... because readers have wanted it both ways. Hyundai USA, not GoodCarBadCar, chooses to combine sales figures for the Genesis sedan and Genesis Coupe, forcing us to include the Genesis with volume-brand cars on pricing grounds before we even get to the "brand status" issue. The K900, Equus, and XTS are here not because of their size but because of their price points, their lack of direct comparability with the Mercedes-Benz S-Class. You can always find the sales results for EVERY vehicle and form your own competitive sets by using the All Vehicle Rankings posts.
