Global sales November 2006: Audi, BMW, MB.

[EnI]

Audi won't be making minivans anytime soon though.

I'm not so sure. Sooner or later they will launch a Sportback of eg. A4, A6 or even A8.

Also Q5 compact SUV is coming, and Q6 SAC will be there as well in the future ...

A5 coupe & cabrio, A7 coupe & cabrio, A3 cabrio, A1 ...


BMW: 1er 3dr hatch, 2er coupe & cabrio, F5 & F3 sports tourer, X6 SAC, Z8 roadster/coupe, 8er/9er large 4dr coupe, possible X4 SAC, 1er sedan, 2er shooting brake, ...

MB: GLK compact SUV, GLC SAC, mid-engined car (SLS?), rumoured CLS Shooting Brake, ...

Audi have a largest gap to fill, BMW also. MB on the other hand have quite full model line already (only GLC & GLK are high-volume sellers).

i belive we should compare new modells to new.. and for now it looks like C vs X5..
ohh and isnt the CLK and CLK cabrio up soon?

1er 3dr will be a new car. Adding few 10k units to the existing 1er sales.

GLK are coming in 2008, while current W209 CLK was launched in 2003, so expect a new one in 2009, or 2010.

Lexus, Infiniti & Acura are still not global players (so their sales are limited), while Jaguar sales are marginal. So are Saab numbers. Volvo is not a premium car maker. Or is it?

Hmm, nice as usual, but not good for Smart...
