Audi of America Reports 2005 Best November Sales
Third record month in a row - Audi's best November sales in history
AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Dec. 1 -- With its third record month in a row, Audi of America, Inc. is reporting its November 2005 sales, the best November result achieved in the company's history. Sales of 7,909 units are up 15% over November 2004. Strongest performer was again the new Audi A4.

The A6 model line now shows 16,307 units sold year-to-date and is up year over year by 21.7%.
"We are clearly very pleased that we have been able perform so well in a declining market," says Executive Vice President of Audi of America, Johan de Nysschen. "Both our A4 and A6 line have been selling so strongly in recent months, that we are experiencing availability shortage in some areas. We have secured additional production, so customers will not have to wait much longer."
This past year has focused on celebrating 25 years of quattro(R), Audi's famous all-wheel drive system. "Our entire marketing campaign has highlighted this unique anniversary, and customers are strongly reacting to that," says de Nysschen. The Audi A6 and A8 models are only available with quattro all-wheel-drive; the A4 and A3 models are also available in FrontTrak front-wheel-drive.
"The pinnacle of our quattro success could be seen at this year's Frankfurt Auto Show, where Audi unveiled the latest product proudly carrying the quattro badge, the all new performance SUV Audi Q7 quattro, coming to the US in summer of next year," says de Nysschen.

Ford's November U.S. Sales Improve Versus October But Lower Than Year Ago
Ford Motor Company's U.S. sales totaled 201,711 in November, down 15 percent compared with a year ago. * November sales were 1 percent higher than October (up 5 percent at retail). * Combined sales for the Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan, and Lincoln Zephyr climb 34 percent compared with October. * Land Rover dealers report record November sales. * Ford announces first quarter 2006 North American production plan.
DEARBORN, Mich., Dec. 1 -- U.S. consumers purchased 201,711 new vehicles from Ford , Lincoln, Mercury, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo dealers in November, down 15 percent compared with a year ago. Car sales were down 7 percent and truck sales were down 18 percent.
November sales were 1 percent higher than October as sales to individual retail customers were up 5 percent. The month-to-month improvement reflects higher sales of the company's all-new mid-size sedans (Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan, and Lincoln Zephyr) as well as higher sales for Ford's F-Series truck.
"Recent economic data and higher November auto sales are encouraging," said Steve Lyons, Ford group vice president, North America Marketing, Sales and Service. "It suggests we're moving beyond the payback period following last summer's record sales. We expect December sales will show further improvement."
In November, combined sales for Ford Fusion (5,337), Mercury Milan (1,874), and Lincoln Zephyr (1,652) were 34 percent higher than October.
Ford's F-Series truck posted November sales of 62,878, down 5 percent compared with a year ago, but up 16 percent versus October.
Sales of traditional sport utility vehicles, like Ford's Explorer, continued to experience sharply lower demand than a year ago, but sales were stable compared with October.
Land Rover dealers reported record November sales (up 18 percent) on the strength of its two new models -- the LR3 and Range Rover Sport.
North American Production
The company plans to build 885,000 vehicles (320,000 cars and 565,000 trucks) in its North American assembly plants in the first quarter 2006. In the first quarter 2005, the company produced 908,000 vehicles (264,000 cars and 644,000 trucks).
In the fourth quarter of 2005, the company plans to build 790,000 vehicles (245,000 cars and 545,000 trucks), down 20,000 units (all trucks) from the previously announced plan.

American Honda Records 2005 As Best-Ever November Sales
Ridgeline Posts Best Month Ever; Record Sales of Pilot Boost Truck Sales
TORRANCE, Calif., Dec. 1 -- Total Honda and Acura November automobile sales increased 6.4 percent over last year to 105,860, and shattered the previous record of 98,075 set in 2002. Driven by November's 15.3 percent increase in Honda truck sales, American Honda's year-to-date sales continue on a record-setting pace of 1,329,672 cars and light trucks, increasing 6.2 percent over last year on a daily selling rate basis, putting the company in line for a 12th straight year of sales increases.
Honda Division also broke records for the sixth consecutive month, posting record truck and total vehicle sales for the month of November of 44,261 and 91,978 units respectively. The revolutionary half-ton Ridgeline truck posted its best month ever with a record 5,243 units, while the Civic (Motor Trend's Car of the Year for 2006) continued to make gains with sales increasing 18 percent over last November. Pilot also posted record November sales of 12,040 units, a 9.8 percent increase over the same period last year.
"The fact that our light-truck models continue to show strength in the face of uncertain gas prices, is a function of their class-leading fuel economy" said Richard Colliver, executive vice president of American Honda Motor Co., Inc.
Increasing consumer awareness and industry accolades of Honda's innovative Ridgeline pickup contributed to its best-ever sales month. Honda's fleet of three hybrid models posted a 52.8 percent increase compared to last November at 2,083 units.
The Honda Division's year-to-date sales grew 6.0 percent to 1,138,683 units, with Odyssey, Pilot and CR-V all showing year-to-date increases.
Acura Division posted sales of 13,382 units with record November sales of the TL sports sedan of 6,134 units. RSX sales increased to 1,521, a 9.1 percent increase from last year for a fifth consecutive month of record sales. Year-to-date Acura sales are up 7.2 percent to 190,989.

Lexus Fanatic
Thanks for posting all the reports for us, AmethySC. 
The IS if continuing to sell at this rate will beat the original 40k sales target by a wide margin.
So the actual sales ratio of IS250 and IS350 turns out to be 65% to 35%, or 13 to 7--for every two IS250 sold there's more than one IS350 sold--that's much more than the 20% that Lexus had anticipated for the IS350, but we all knew that.
Also, I don't like how they list all IS's as "IS300" in the report. Time for an update.
Edit: Oops didn't notice the IS350 sales number includes the IS300. Don't think there were too many IS300's sold in November though.

LaNeve went on to point out the positive impact of new products, like the Chevrolet Impala and HHR, Pontiac G6 and Buick LaCrosse. "In our business, the bottom line is great product," he added.

Despite constrained inventories, HHR had its second-best sales month since launch, with deliveries up 9 percent over October. An 18 percent sales increase for the new Saturn Vue also contributed to the solid sales results in the small utility category. Saturn sales in November were up 12 percent.
H3, the new mid-size HUMMER, continues to drive record sales for the division and positions HUMMER as the fastest-growing brand in the industry for the calendar year-to-date. HUMMER sales in November were up 114 percent and for the calendar year are up 90.5 percent.

Such factors include, among others, the following: changes in economic conditions, currency exchange rates or political stability; shortages of fuel, labor strikes or work stoppages; market acceptance of the corporation's new products; significant changes in the competitive environment; changes in laws, regulations and tax rates; and, the ability of the corporation to achieve reductions in cost and employment levels to realize production efficiencies and implement capital expenditures at levels and times planned by management.

Such factors include, among others, the following: changes in economic conditions, currency exchange rates or political stability; shortages of fuel, labor strikes or work stoppages; market acceptance of the corporation's new products; significant changes in the competitive environment; changes in laws, regulations and tax rates; and, the ability of the corporation to achieve reductions in cost and employment levels to realize production efficiencies and implement capital expenditures at levels and times planned by management.

Chrysler Group Reports U.S. Sales for November 2005
* Year-to-Date Chrysler Brand Sales Achieve Highest Annual Totals Ever * Retail Sales for November Increase 24 Percent Over October 2005 Sales * Jeep Commander Sales Increase 23 Percent over October 2005 Sales * Retail Sales of Minivans with Exclusive Stow 'n Go Seating Increase 61 Percent Over Prior Month * Chrysler 300 Sets November Sales Record
AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Dec. 1 -- Chrysler Group reported U.S. sales for November 2005 of 159,898 units, a decrease of 7 percent (3 percent decrease unadjusted) compared to November 2004 when 164,280 units were sold. Sales figures are adjusted for the number of selling days unless otherwise indicated.
"Chrysler Group outperformed the overall industry and posted a 24 percent increase in retail sales in November compared to October. However, November sales did not meet our expectations and fell short of last year's performance," said Gary Dilts, Chrysler Group Senior Vice President - Sales. "Our 'Miles of Freedom Plan' in addition to other consumer incentives increased showroom traffic and we expect that to continue through year-end. We are looking forward to a strong December and finishing the year on a high note."
Led by unique products like the Chrysler 300 and Chrysler PT Cruiser, and innovative, exclusive features like Stow 'n Go minivan seating, the Chrysler brand is experiencing the best year in its history. With November sales of 49,917 units and 597,085 units year-to-date, the Chrysler brand surpasses the total sales for 2004 of 588,891 units and represents a 10 year growth of 126 percent for the brand.
Retail sales of the Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Caravan minivans, which both have the exclusive Stow 'n Go seating system, increased 61 percent in November compared to October retail sales.
Sales of the Chrysler PT Cruiser increased 24 percent to 11,193 units. November 2004 sales were 8,697 units.
The segment-leading Chrysler 300 continues to sell briskly, posting a November sales record of 12,647 units, an increase of 5 percent over November 2004 sales of 11,574 units. November marks the 18th of 20 months that the Chrysler 300 has sold in excess of 10,000 units.
The all-new Jeep Commander, the newest capable addition to the Jeep family and the first Jeep with three rows of seats, posted sales of 3,825 units, an increase of 23 percent over October 2005 sales of 3,241 units.
Jeep Wrangler, the icon of the Jeep brand, posted sales of 4,482 units, an increase of 6 percent over last year sales of 4,078 units.
Dodge Durango posted healthy sales in November of 11,143 units, equal to last year's results of 10,717 units on an adjusted basis.
"Looking ahead, economic indicators are showing strong positive trends for December. Fuel prices are steadily coming down, consumer confidence has shown substantial increases and the stock market is gaining momentum," said Dilts. "December is traditionally a strong selling month and we have products that are unique in the marketplace and features that cannot be found anywhere else. Anticipation is high for a strong close to 2005."
"We are continuing to introduce a steady stream of new products in 2006 to enhance our product portfolio," continued Dilts. "We are planning for December sales to provide the momentum for a good start to 2006."
Chrysler Group finished the month with 589,108 units of inventory or a 92- day supply.
