BMW Group vehicle sales in November were up down 3.6% when compared to last November. YTD sales for the first 11 months of 2006 were up a razor thin 0.7%.

November sales of the X Series were down 28.0% when compared to November, 2005 while car sales were up only 2.2%.

Sales of the BMW brand were down 4.5% when compared to last November.

Total November Mercedes-Benz sales of 22,079 units represents a 20.8% increase from last November when 18,284 units were sold. 2006 YTD sales for MB are also up 13.9%. MB sales this year would have been much lower save for introduction of the R Class late in 2005 and the GL Class in 2006.

Please note that I only report the United States sales data.

Any sales decrease is a good news for people buying new one.
