Damnit people BUY IT hahah. I'm like a broken record every month, mocking the sales of the GS.
As much as people hate everything Bangle-***, it still outsells the GS by 5x, even when the GS is $5000+ cheaper.
that tells me that people like Bangle more than L-finesse.
On the plus side, I do enjoy ??exclusivity?? seeing fewer GS on the road.

Audi Market Share Continues to Grow Through September 2009
HERNDON, Va., Oct. 1 /PRNewswire/ --
•Audi sales total 7,209
•Clean diesel Audi Q7 mix at 38 percent of model line sales
•A5 Coupe sales driven by new 2.0 engine
•U.S. market share CYTD hits 8.3 percent in segment
Audi today announced sales of 7,209 vehicles for the month of September. Johan de Nysschen, President, Audi of America, expects the brand to record another increase in market share, to 8.9 percent for September in the import luxury segment.
Audi dealers continue to see strong demand for the Audi Q7 TDI clean diesel. TDI sales were 38 percent of the model mix for the Q7, well above company projections and an indication that American consumers are interested in efficiency and function.
The all-new Audi Q5 crossover is one of the fastest vehicles to leave the lot of any model in the U.S. Dealers reported that the Q5 stayed on their lots 13 or fewer days during September. The A5 Coupe proved a top brand performer, also, up 19 percent year-over-year. Much of the model's success is attributed to its new 2.0 turbo fuel injected engine, sales of which comprised half of the total number sold. Additionally, the A3 model sales were up 26 percent year-over-year.
The Audi U.S. market share has also continued to grow throughout 2009, reaching 8.3 percent calendar year-to-date, which de Nysschen attributes to sustained consumer brand resonance in light of ongoing product evolution.
"There is an unmistakable sentiment of enthusiasm coming from consumers," said Johan de Nysschen, President, Audi of America. "This active response fuels the sustained demand for Audi vehicles and explains the steady market share growth that we are seeing. That multiple vehicles set sales records in September is a testament to the momentum Audi is experiencing in the marketplace. We firmly believe that superior design and unmatched efficiency lay the groundwork for widespread appeal. Our sales results confirm this."

Mitsubishi Motors' September Sales Complete Best Quarter This Year
CYPRESS, Calif., Oct. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Mitsubishi Motors North America (MMNA) today announced September 2009 sales of 4,712.
The U.S. Government's CARS program (so-called "Cash For Clunkers") pulled sales forward into July and August, however the third quarter (July through September) was by far MMNA's best of the year, up 18 percent from the first quarter (January-March) and up 29 percent over the second quarter (May-June).
"We expected we would not reach the level of last month's sales. August was our best month in almost a year," said Shinichi Kurihara, president and CEO of Mitsubishi Motors North America. "The real measurement of ongoing progress and customer confidence are those three-month sales increases."
"The CARS program dramatically reduced our overall inventories," added Kurihara. "Actually, the sell-down of Outlanders ideally coincides with the upcoming launch of the 2010 Outlander next month.
"It will have class-leading features like Super All Wheel Control, Idle Neutral Logic and improved fuel economy. The 2010 Outlander will be the sportiest handling CUV on the road," he said.
Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc., (MMNA) is responsible for all manufacturing, finance, sales, and marketing operations for Mitsubishi Motors in the United States. MMNA sells coupes, convertibles, sedans, sport utility vehicles, and light trucks through a network of approximately 420 dealers.

ATLANTA - October 1, 2009: Porsche Cars North America, Inc.

Porsche’s overall year-to-date sales in 2009 are 14,310 compared to the first nine months of last year when they were 21,076, a decrease of 32 percent.

they're not gonna pull the plug on it. They'll just pull an SC430, and keep the same shell for 10 years, and modify the bumpers and engine a little bit
hahah. I'm like a broken record every month, mocking the sales of the GS.
As much as people hate everything Bangle-***, it still outsells the GS by 5x, even when the GS is $5000+ cheaper.
that tells me that people like Bangle more than L-finesse.
On the plus side, I do enjoy ??exclusivity?? seeing fewer GS on the road.

Do you NOT understand that?
The GS is NOT Lexus volume car and has NEVER been. THe E class now includes coupe sales, wagons, E63, etc. The 5 series includes wagon, M5s, and 3 other engine choices.
The 5 and E class ARE Benz/BMW volume sellers. The GS will NEVER sell as well as those vehicles.
People buy a BMW for more than just Bangle style. LEASE DEALS THE GS CAN NEVER MATCH IS ONE. Two is free maintenance. Three is the 5 series and E are THE standards of the class, like the RX is for SUVs.
And the GS historically has ALWAYS outsold the A6. ALWAYS. If you don't follow sales results, don't make comments that show it.

Zeus didn't approve it. Its something I enjoy and like to share with members. Don't cry and run to mommy if you don't like where something is placed. Some cars and categories blend lines with me, I put them where I think they fit best. Yes I may add some cars together for informational purposes. If seeing some Lexus figures bunched together angers you that much you may need to visit a strip club and ask for the "Special" since you are that angry. Thanks
Also before making assumptions, be aware different vehicles have different sales goals and many times its not apples to apples. For instance its easy to say A car is outselling B car but B car might have much lower targets. Be aware of the sales goals.

what's your point?
i just said the A6 outsold the GS. nuff said. I'm not talking about historical sales.
If the audi has always been the underdog, then this makes the GS even uglier.

Please explain your sound reasoning?
They haven't been published since the initial couple years.....CLEARLY they are minuscule at this point. The 5/E has ALWAYS outsold the GS. Always. Period, end of story.
The GS first year sales goal was 32k which is passed with the data Trexus showed us a couple months ago for example. The GS 450h has ALWAYS been a limited production model with 2000 allocated to the USA in 2007, again NOT a volume model.

it was an ugly month for most so i don't think hyundai is worried about the genesis, especially given their overall SPECTACULAR sales performance (+kia).

Basically a dull sales month
ford's sales were VERY impressive. as were hyundai's, kia's, subaru's, and some others and certain models.

maybe hyundai doesn't consider the genesis a 'volume car' either, yet you and others are 'worried' about it.
hyundai and its other division kia were UP 27 and 24% respectively. that is AMAZING.
i love the numbers publiished in this thread, and the analysis provides some laughs...
