lol @ Sonata Sale.
"Hyundai is proud to announce that now, we have the lowest priced car on the market and we are competing with BMW, LEXUS" LOLOL.
Because of reckless ambition of Hyundai's Chairman who wants to compete with Toyota and to tap into Luxury market by copying Toyota, Hyundai management lost a way what to do with Genesis. Please run a national campaign during Super Bowl that Hyundai is now offering V8 GENESIS.

I think Toyota is something 16 to 18% of the US market. At 130,000 sales for the month, that means roughly 800,000 total US sales for November. That's around 9.5M units per year. Should be interesting to see what the GFC business plans that are being delivered to DC say they need for total market size in the US to be healthy.
The auto makers are still comparing to pretty good months a year ago. They will slowly get some help in the percentage drops as they start comparing to poorer months a year ago.
Doesn't look like the drop in gas prices has done much at all. Really didn't help sales of the big SUVs. And the sales of the gas sippers aren't exactly roaring along either.

What? Dude, are you reading the same sales numbers that I was reading?
TOTAL LEXUS: 16,223 -34.7%
TOTAL MB: 14,102 -38.2%
Not to mention that MB has way more models than Lexus...
For more comparison:
LS: 1,272
S-class: 997
ES + IS: 6,865
C-class: 4,422
RX: 5,850
R + M + GL: 4,797
How's that a "b***h slapping"?

BMW Group U.S. Division Reports November Sales
BMW Group sales in the U.S. (BMW and MINI combined) down by 26.8 percent.
Company continues to outperform the market year-to-date.
WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J., Dec. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- The BMW Group in the U.S. (BMW and MINI combined) reported November sales of 19,762 vehicles, a decrease of 26.8 percent over the 26,985 vehicles sold in November 2007. The BMW Group also reported a year-to-date sales volume of 281,564 vehicles, down 6.8 percent, compared to 302,079 vehicles in the same period of 2007.
BMW Brand Sales
Sales of BMW brand vehicles decreased 36.1 percent in November for a total of 15,217 compared to 23,808 reported in the same month a year ago. Year-to-date BMW brand sales were down 12.3 percent, to 231,053 vehicles compared to 263,596 vehicles sold in the same period in 2007.
"You can't force sales because in the current climate purchases are based on real need, and when there is emotional desire involved, the decision is increasingly weighted on the value proposition," said Jim O'Donnell, President of BMW of North America, LLC. "Our value proposition is well tuned with a range of leasing and retail financing options and four years free maintenance. Both of these have helped us outperform the premium market, and along with cutting our production volumes earlier in the year, we're in good shape eliminating excessive inventory."
BMW Automobile Sales
BMW's automobile sales are down 35 percent in November to 12,106 versus 18,627 in the same month a year ago. Year-to-date sales also decreased 12.6 percent, to 181,289 automobiles compared to 207,471 in the same period of 2007.
BMW Sports Activity Vehicle Sales
Sales of BMW Sports Activity Vehicles decreased by 40 percent in November to 3,111 vehicles over the 5,181 sold last November. Year-to-date, sales of BMW Sports Activity Vehicles were down 11.3 percent, to 49,764 vehicles compared to the 56,125 sold in the first eleven months of 2007.
MINI Brand Sales
MINI USA reported November sales of 4,545 automobiles, up 43.1 percent from the 3,177 cars sold in November 2007. Year-to-date, the division reported sales of 50,511 automobiles, an increase of 31.3 percent, compared to the 38,483 cars reported in the first eleven months of 2007.
"We've seen some slowing in MINI showroom traffic just the same as everyone else in the last month," said Jim McDowell, Vice-President of MINI USA. "However, we're still positive about our future sales due to the fact the recent frenzy towards more efficient transportation has introduced more consumers to our brand. This has helped us hit the milestone of 50,000 sales in November, one month sooner than we expected."
BMW Certified Pre-Owned
Sales of BMW's Certified Pre-Owned vehicles are down slightly by 2 percent, to 7,700 CPO vehicles versus 7,856 vehicles reported last November. Year-to-date, CPO sales are up 15.5 percent, to 92,781 over the 80,299 reported in the same period in 2007.

Chrysler LLC
Chrysler LLC Reports November 2008 U.S. Sales; Continues Aggressive Customer Discounts
-- All-new Dodge Ram sales continue to gain momentum
-- Jeep(R) Liberty sales increased 6% compared to October 2008
-- Chrysler's U.S. retail market share increased 0.6 percentage points in November
-- Fleet sales decreased 63%; Retail sales remain aligned with industry
-- Additional incentives and financing arrangements designed to support customers during the continued credit crisis
AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Dec. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Chrysler LLC today reported total November 2008 U.S. sales of 85,260 units, down 10% versus October 2008 (94,530 units), and down 47% from the same month last year. Inside these total numbers, fleet sales decreased 63% versus last November, as planned, and retail sales were in line with the retail industry (down 36%). The company's U.S. retail market share increased 0.6 percentage points in November.
"2008 will go down as unlike any other year in the industry, and thus, comparisons to 2007 sales have become irrelevant," said Jim Press, Chrysler LLC Vice Chairman and President. "In this environment, we need to evaluate sales based on month-to-month trends, with the last two months of the year being especially important to determine if we have established a base for sales in 2009. Our goal is to fight to maintain our share of the retail market month-to-month by keeping a strong advertising and incentive presence in the marketplace and finding financing solutions for our customers, roughly 75% of whom finance their vehicles with dealer assistance."
November's industry sales declines reflect the combined impact of weak consumer confidence and tight credit, and highlight the need for government action. This week Chrysler LLC will present its Viability and Accountability Plan in detail to Congress regarding the Company's request for an immediate working capital bridge loan.
November Sales Highlights
Sales for the all-new 2009 light duty Dodge Ram increased as it makes its way to dealerships across the country. While the sell-down of the previous model continues as planned, sales of the 2009 model for the month reached 1,958 units, up 72% versus last month. Compared to October 2008, total Dodge Ram sales were down 12% (15,538 units), performing better than the industry overall.
Jeep(R) Liberty sales in November increased 6% (4,171 units) compared to October 2008 (3,918 units).
The all-new Dodge Challenger continues to draw attention. Sales of the vehicle reached 3,364 units in November, a 12% increase over October 2008 sales.
The Company finished the month with 399,724 units of inventory, or a 117- day supply. Inventory is down 17% compared with November 2007, when it totaled 480,424 units.
December Incentives
Chrysler remains committed to supporting customer needs for financing and incentives during the current economic conditions. Current deals provide customers an opportunity to take advantage of solid offers on the remaining 2008 model year inventory at the best deals of the year. The incentive plan will focus on aggressive cash rebates up to $6,000 on 2008 models, up to $3,000 on 2009 models and discounted APR financing that drive lower monthly payments.
In addition to the significant cash incentives, in several markets some 2008 model year vehicles are available with a 0% APR for up to 72 months; and 2009 model year vehicles are available with an APR as low as 1.9% for up to 72 months.
For returning lease customers, Chrysler will offer a Lease Loyalty allowance of up to $750 toward a new retail purchase. For consumers interested in leasing through independent financial institutions, Chrysler offers Bonus Cash of up to $2,000 on select 2008 model year vehicles.
