Anyone know how the A8 and 7 series are selling?

This is out of the annual report for 2006! I hope this is the information you want...

BMW

Demand for the BMW 7 Series Sedan remains
strong. 36,784 units were sold between January
and September 2006, 8.2% more than in the
corresponding period last year. In 2007, with the
introduction of the Hydrogen 7, based on the
BMW 760Li, the BMW Group will become the first
manufacturer worldwide to offer selected customers
in some markets a hydrogen-driven luxury sedan.

Audi

22,601 units

These seem pretty impressive, but when compared to the S class, well there's no comparison, hopefully the next generation of these models will be able to keep up with the S class in sales terms!

Sure thing.. the S is lord and master in this league. Some companys are trying their best (even Bently) to kick the S off the All-Mighty excutive automotive throne.

Mercedes is ahead of the game here with clientele and is the reason the S is so popular. the competition knows that by now.

Yes, I really thought the Bentley would have taken more sales away from the S600. I guess now Lexus is trying to take their shot. That new Hyrbid might just be the one to do the trick.

I'm wondering if the new BMW CS concept, when it reaches production will it be a competitor in this section?

I suprises me that the A8 hasn't got more votes.

 

[HighestOfHigh]

Anyone know what the total sales for the BFS is?

 

[Mr. M]

Interesting. Revisiting this again, the A8 comes second place in the poll.

If you ask me, it should be FIRST!!!

 

[Mr. M]

If you ask me, it should be FIRST!!!

Lol

 

[PanterroR]

Why lol? I'm dead serious!

 

[LaArtist]

yep 32 ppl including you share that view tycoon.. .. so your not alone..hihi

 

[PanterroR]

I know that never ever will 7er or A8 win these kind of polls... It's just S' territory...

...untill the new 7er arrives!

 

[Mr. M]

Why lol? I'm dead serious!

Well I think the S-Class deserves this win. Even I voted for the S. It really is the best of the lot there.

We bought the A8 because it's an acquired taste; it's a good car by all means but it won't win the S-Class in some of its tangible merits like comfort, prestige and technology.

 

[PanterroR]

I've said if you ask me... But reality is another thing...

 

[LaArtist]

^damn i thanked you by misstake.. anyways its not such a bad post to thank..so be my guest..haha

by the way.. this deserves a LOL

...untill the new 7er arrives!

 

[PanterroR]

Hence the smiley...

But don't write it off; we don't know what they're preparing...

Oh, and i'm giving you back-thanks, so you can relax...
