Hey Glen, if one where charting sales, would one find there is a climb upwards with the BMW lineup? Are people expressing their wealth with buying BMW's?

we're up about 4% from last year thru October...there are only 4 big players in the US Luxury market - BMW, Lexus, MB and Acura. It goes like this:
Lex 231K YTD
BMW 208 K
MB 132K
Acura 131K
Infiniti 78K
Volvo -68K
Audi - 56K

and all the others...

I don't have the #'s for Europe - perhaps Google does...

Interesting, not one single American made product.
