My Audi dealer has a fully tricked out A6 (BLACK) on their showroom floor -- front and rear spoiler, ground effects, tinted windows, special wheels, tail pipe extentions and fuzzy dice (oops, scratch the dice).
 
I run hot and cold on it -- it looks striking at first, then it looks just a teeny weeny bit like a Pontiac Grand Am circa 1997 (plastic plastic everywhere and not a drop to drink?)

Infiniti doesn't report sales breakouts within the model for the M and FX. Lexus does, however:
 
GS300 2,657
GS430 541

Wow! It seems that the 5 series is one of the 2 big winners here, up almost 16%. Apparently CR couldn't talk the 5 series down.

Maybe CR isn't as influential in some respects as you believe it is.

I'm guessing that is mostly outgoing '05 models... No cash incentives, but great lease numbers on those last month.... I'm sure they were blowing them out..

I didn't mean anything by it BTW.
 
But honestly, I'm a long time CR reader and when I buy a new car I buy what feels right. Not what CR, C&D, Motor Trend liked or disliked.

If CR dislikes it, I almost always know that I will like it.
 
But I always fully vet my Whirlpool appliances there first!
 
Maybe I'll start paying attention to frequency of repair reports now that I've gone from German to Japanese.

You're probably right about the BMW's being the '05 models. The AWD versions are (or weren't -- out yet).
 
The Lexus breakdown was interesting, too, I wonder how many were AWD.
 
I keep reading about virtually any of the brands that are now offering AWD, that the market for AWD sedans -- 300C, Ford Five Hundred, M35(X) and BMW X's, etc -- is greater than "expected."
 
My BMW dealer claims the 5x's (not a typo) are expected to sharply increase the popularity of the 5's (more than they are now? I wonder).
 
My wife's BMW sales rep said she has "many" 5X's already on order "sight unseen" by their perspective owners.
 
"This is just the vehicle we've been waiting for."
 
Time will tell, eh?
 
Didn't seem to help Acura as much as I would've expected, tho -- but as a previous poster said, the RL had a long way to go to "come back" -- so, relatively speaking, it's all good (for Acura).

AWD seems to be the way things are going... It is unreal how many people won't buy a BMW because it is RWD...
 
I think that sales rep is correct.... AWD is going to make BMW sales take off.. and, just in time, too... with the GS and M models coming out with it...
