Audi has officially passed Infiniti as they passed Lincoln last month. Infiniti in particalur has to feel awful as their highly taunted "turnaround" by their fans has well "turned around" again in such a short time.
Acura used to be the clear 4th brand in sales but buick and Caddy may just pass them by years end, faster than the 2010 prediction I made. With only he ZDX low volume vehicle coming (it will also fail) and nothing else and the competition stronger than ever, they will have an awful 2010.

Wow over 39K F-Series sold, unbelievable!
E-Class sales were also amazing, over 6,000! I really like the new E-Class redesign, great to see it doing well.
Prius sales were very solid, Venza sales are consistent.
ES and IS continue to be very solid, HS sales could be better, but are supply limited.
Civic sales don't look too good, Accord sales could be better.
OUCH for TL sales. ES sales were almost double! The Buick LaCrosse outsold the TL! Acura must be very thankful at least the TSX and MDX saw increases.
RX sales continue to be monstrous, the RX outsold the ENTIRE Infiniti brand by quite a margin! RX was close to outselling the Acura brand as well. RX amazingly even outsold the 3 Series.
Solid sales for Hyundai; Genesis sales continue to worry though. Yet another month with Genesis sales below 2,000, and the sales results *include both* coupe and sedan. ES sales were more than double that of the Genesis, IS sales also much more than the Genesis. HS, despite being supply-limited, came very close to outselling the Genesis.
Great job for Cadillac, nice sales increase. Cadillac is now easily outselling both Acura and Infiniti.
To anyone who said Lexus would lose the sales crown this year, they should be eating their words right about now ![Wink](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
.
Big fail on Infiniti's part. The brand is suffering almost as much as Acura. The one good thing Infiniti has going for it is that the brand is now sold in many international markets, widening worldwide appeal for the brand. Styling is also not as offensive as Acura's. Infiniti though is suffering from a big lack of product, as is Acura.
Clearly, Infiniti fans on the internet are lashing out because the brand is suffering.
To Infiniti's credit though, they do have a direction for the brand unlike Acura. Nissan just needs to invest more into the Infiniti brand in order to have more product.

If the sedan is doing 1/2 or so the Genesis volume that's about 925-1,000 cars!
Compared to the new LaCrosse also with 2 engine choices 3,228, MKS @1,609.
What's up?
The outgoing '09 ES350 with only one model sold 4,413.

Awesome job for Subaru, the sales increase for them continues.
All the Genesis fans and those who were hyping it seem to have gone silent now.
As TRD also pointed out Genesis sales seemed to have flattened out.
If the sedan is doing 1/2 or so the Genesis volume that's about 925-1,000 cars!
Compared to the new LaCrosse also with 2 engine choices 3,228, MKS @1,609.
What's up?
The outgoing '09 ES350 with only one model sold 4,413.
