Replying to: scott1256 (Jan 24, 2006 11:31 am) I wouldn't count on the Jan sales figures though, they'll be in the 12-15K range if the typical Jan is anything to go by. Import luxury brands always seem to get off to a slow start. Mercedes in particular doesn pick up until like March-April. This year it might be Feb since the new S will go on sale around the middle of Feb. The new GL will arrive in March from all I've seen on it so far. The facelifted SL and E arrive in May-June along with the S65 AMG. The ML63 is due in April also. Not sure when the CLS, R and ML get the new V8.   M Replies to this message: scott1256 (Feb 01, 2006 4:01 pm) merc1 (Feb 01, 2006 4:51 pm) albell (Feb 01, 2006 6:32 pm) and 1 more...
#280 of 441 January sales will probably by scott1256 Jan 25, 2006 (5:26 am)
be slow, which is typical for MB.   My optomism is based on Mercedes doing well over the next several years. There may be a few weak months, but the new products are on target.   I too think the GL will be a serious player. The E facelift should boost late summer and fall sales. The SL is a profit center for DC: every extra sale that results from updating the big roadster helps the bottom line.   By the way: did MB deliberately choose the worst possible camera angles for early release S-class pictures? Your pictures from Detroit and others I have seen look so much better than those early ones. Replies to this message: merc1 (Jan 25, 2006 9:48 pm)

#283 of 441 January '06 sales [merc1] by scott1256 Feb 01, 2006 (4:01 pm)
Replying to: merc1 (Jan 24, 2006 9:26 pm) were up 3%. Quite impressive after the big December.   The CLS, M, G and R carried the ball for January sales: Some of the other models were down quite dramatically.   http://www.theautochannel.com/news/2006/02/01/209083.html Replies to this message: merc1 (Feb 01, 2006 4:51 pm) albell (Feb 01, 2006 6:32 pm) merc1 (Feb 01, 2006 7:21 pm)

Replying to: scott1256 (Feb 01, 2006 4:01 pm) I don't know if I'd call it impressive, but any improvement is good I guess. It is interesting though that the Jan numbers are like a third of the Dec 2005 number. The Feb-April numbers will set the pace for the year I think. That is when the S and GL go on sale.   M Replies to this message: albell (Feb 01, 2006 6:32 pm) merc1 (Feb 01, 2006 7:21 pm)

Replying to: merc1 (Feb 01, 2006 4:51 pm) The R, which I own and love, sold less than 1000. Ouch. I cant believe MB cant move these things. Replies to this message: merc1 (Feb 01, 2006 7:21 pm)

Replying to: albell (Feb 01, 2006 6:32 pm) Well MB's Jan sales are always slow especially compared with the Dec that just past. I don't think the R will ever live up to Mercedes' initial expectations or 20-30K a year, but it will do better than Jan's total for sure. Jan is always a steep dropoff month for MB.   M
#288 of 441 2008 C-Class by merc1 Feb 01, 2006 (10:58 pm)
Spy pics for the upcoming 2008 C-Class are all over the web now it seems:       another pic   one the road   The profile looks like that of the new S-Class, but the rear looks to be the same as the upcoming CL.   M
