Mercedes-Benz USA made the S-Class America's best-selling large luxury car for the second consecutive month in March 2013. Because of Lexus's big LS sales month in January, the S-Class's lead over the LS is only 217-units strong through the first quarter.
At this point last year, the S-Class trailed the BMW 7-Series by 821 units. But the 7-Series, which didn't end 2012 as the class leader, is down 31% this year. Surely the advent of the the 6-Series sedan, a car BMW calls the 6-Series Gran Coupe, hinders the 7-Series' somewhat.
To buyers interested in far less costly big sedans, the Cadillac XTS appears to be a far more attractive proposition than the Lincoln MKS. The MKS starts a couple thousand below the XTS and doesn't reach as far north, either. Hyundai's more conventional large luxury car layout in the Equus brings with it a significantly higher base price than you'll find in the XTS and MKS.
