MB is on a roll. Very impressive sales. Now imagine MB with a proper SUV lineup as well, instead of the crap they're offering now.

YTD sales data seems to suggest MB is doing just fine with their SUV's:

I love how MBUSA is trying to hide the CLS sales failure by grouping it with the E-Class' sales. Why? The CLS has died, everyone knows it.

Just as much as BMW is hiding their failed 6er GC experiment. I am sure the CLS still does better than the 6er GC in terms of sales number.
I have to admit that I do like that CLS though.

2013, the last time the numbers were given separately;

6 Coupe: 6278 Units
6 Convertible: 5496 Units
6 Gran Coupe: 15,913 Units

As far as experiments go, that seems quite successful? No?

CLS W218 is my favourite Merc, beside new S class range and GLE coupe.

I would bet if anything the BMW 6 GC sells better, here in the U.S. It is the most popular 6er variant here.

CLS W218 is my favourite Merc,..

Agreed, my favourite current model bar none, probably my favourite since the W126 SEC.

Are those global numbers or US?

 

[WAND]

For me, W218 with AMG pack is design perfection.
Both outside & inside.
Cant find any weak point, or detail which I would change.
Probably the only Merc for me to can say that for it.
One time I read in "Top Speed" that "CLS W218 could be on the design Academy like example of work of art design".
Agree with that sentence 100%.
