Nothing surprising about the numbers. To buyers in this class, brand prestige is probably the number 1 factor. So it follows that MB and BMW make the most sales. Not to say that the E and the 5 are not great cars on their merits, they are, but a car like the M really doesn't get too much "brand" love. When's the last time you heard someone say, "I want an Infiniti because it's an Infiniti"? The "disconnect" is there because car reviewers usually don't put too much emphasis in the prestige of the brand. The A6 isn't doing too bad, someone has to be last... there's just so much good competition out there. BTW, the 550i is on BMW's website now. That thing's gonna be a hoot to drive. I wonder when the E500 is going to get the 382 hp 5.4L. Perhaps they're waiting until the redesign?
