Wow, Nissan down big with a new lineup. Every single thing they sell is down. Wow.
Acura down big, MDX sales are okay but not great and its a brand new model. THey can't give Rls away.
Lexus, IS flat, GS 350 not doing to bad but down. LS, wow oh wow. RX amazing, its near the end of its cycle and doing well.
You can't judge Audi/Infiniti sales really. Their lineups are so small, one new model fools you into thinking things are going well. The Q7 and new G35 are saving both brands.
Wow, 5 series and E class, what can you say. Every single month, people go and buy them in big numbers. BMW and Benz knows customers, those 2 models sell well month in month out.

Big news the Prius cracked the top 20. Wow oh wow. Toyota was right!
Wow, 5 Fords, no 500 though.
4 Toyotas, didn't realize the Rav4 sold that much. Corolla about to pass the Accord unless Accord keeps its gains.
3 Chevy's, Cobalt and Impala, impressive
3 Hondas
Altima sales are just incredible for Nissan

Thanks again, Incendiary!
GS back in #3 position, ES doing well...actually the Lexus passenger cars are doing better than ever, a 63-37 split. Gone are the 90's when the threatened trade war put Lexus' emphasis on SUVs. But they are still an important bloc.
E-class on top in the final years of its cycle.

The GS should have gone up in the past month. Lexus had advertising everywhere for the month of april

So anyway, the DSR is no good unless all states and locations are open on the same days.............But hey, it helps make car mfg's numbers look better sometimes...

Just chatting with someone here.....
The fact is that Sunday is a bad deal for dealers as at least 10 states do not allow sales on Sunday. So the more Sunday's in a month, the lower your sales will be - so there actually IS some validity to the numbers - but we can't quantify them reliably so I think the best way to do it would be an asterisk on those months when sales were lower stating there were more Sunday's in a given month....

Not sure what you are saying - but I'm referring to the fact that Toyota's method of using DSR is not valid unless all dealers are open on the same days.
