Post Lexus lowest in incentives, Lincoln/Infiniti highest (most brands data inside)

So this is pretty amazing. Lexus is by far the lowest in incentives this year and the percentage of incentives decreased from last year. They are also only $23 behind the lowest MAINSTREAM brand which is surprise surprise, Hyundai. Toyota is only $63 behind 2nd place Honda which is pretty incredible since we know they have increased incentives this year. Toyota is up 30% with incentives but Honda is up 36%. Hyundai is DOWN 37%.

Dodge is the worst mainstream brand and for luxury cars Lincoln and Infiniti continue to give away their cars. Again this just reinforces why I am not impressed with Infiniti sales at all.

Hyundai is really on a roll.

Good for Lexus to keep the resale value high by refraining from pushing incentives too far. $5,111 for Infiniti!? Wow...

Yeah not sure why not in the link...but surely high as hell (Germans). Suburu, that is a good guess.

yeah how come we don't see numbers for mb, bmw, and audi. those would be great data points. lexus is always low on incentives, i think that's pretty well known. whereas germans are always way high. it will help to explain the high msrp on germans coz' that's never the deal price

Regardless of incentives, it looks like Ford, Chevy, and Toyota (still) dominate the sales numbers in vehicles actually going out the door and delivered. That, of course, is not surprising.....it has been that way for decades, although Hyundai and Honda are both serious competition.

This data probably doesn't take into account the $3,000 incentive that Lexus just slapped on almost all of their cars and suvs.

It seems like YTD info..

And its UP TO a 3k rebate as Lexus/Benz/BMW duke it out these last few months. BMW just rolled out .9% or 0 down on a new 3 series.

Lincoln and Chrysler at the top of incentive list comes as no surprise to me, but I wasn't aware of the depth of Infiniti's sales challenges requiring that much incentification.

Hmmm - those nos. and formatting (w/ just a couple of additions) look awfully familiar...

It's not just Infiniti, but Nissan as well w/ high incentives (for the major import brands).

That, combined w/ the dramatic rise in the % of fleet sales for Nissan, shows why Nissan is so eager to cooperate w/ Daimler.
