Small/Entry Luxury Car Sales And Midsize Luxury Car Sales In America - November 2011


U.S. small luxury car sales chart November 2011
Since July, U.S. sales of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class have increased each and every month. August was 4% better than July, September sales grew 45% from August levels, October sales jumped 3%, and November was up a further 18%. Compared with November 2010, C-Class sales last month more than doubled to 8358. The small Benz sedan/coupe duo was America's best-selling luxury vehicle overall, beating its nearest direct rival by 790 units.

While all that C-Class news sounds wonderful, consider the fact that the BMW 3-Series, the aforementioned direct rival, is now an outdated model. The terrific new F30 3-Series sedan will arrive in showrooms soon, at which point 3-Series sales will spike. The C-Class's recent improvement suggests customers in this segment aren't all willing to wait for the new 3-Series. Even so, 3-Series sales were healthy enough in November to make it America's 20th-best-selling car.

Three dead or near dead Swedish cars suffered dramatic U.S. sales declines in November. Lexus HS250h sales plunged 74%. The Audi A3 and BMW 1-Series posted 38% and 35% drops, respectively. The Volvo S60 jumped 384%.
