Global sales: October 2006: Audi, BMW, MB

[EnI]

BMW data I post DO NOT include motorcycle sales - they are listed & mentioned separately in a PR. The data are for automobile sales only!

Also MB sales figures DO NOT include vans like Vito, Vaneo, Sprinter etc. They include passenger cars only!

Btw, MB October figures added, waiting for BMW PR, and Audi's in English (have it in German).

So MB running out of steam ?!

The Group is down due to Smart, but to see MB stagnate is a bit shocking. I would have expected them to post an increase in sales.

And Eni, please let people know when you've added new sales figures.

Yes but Vaneo and Vito have passenger versions that i believe that are included in sales (at least in Germany).

If you check MB Germany you can see what i mean: http://www.mercedes-benz.de/content...er_vans/home/products/new_vehicles/viano.html

Yes, KBA - a company which counts registrations of new cars in Germany - counts vans & transporters in Mercedes-Benz German registration numbers.

While ACEA (European new car registrations) DO NOT include them. Neither do MB in their figures stated in press release. Despite some vans & transporters are people movers.

That will probably happen one day .

True. Congrats to Audi.

Yet you should mind (like PR says) allroad quattro models are includes in the A6 sales number, as they are Chinese LWB A6.

 

[Imhotep Evil]

The propelar leads the way.
