Hyundai Genesis (9,938 units YTD to the E60's 20,807)
VW Jetta (sales up 1% YTD)

Your telling me the last year of the old 7 series sold more than the first year of the new one? Ouch!

I'm somewhat surprised to see the CLS on there though.

I'm sure those numbers are affected by many who want to wait for the '11 model.

To be fair to the new 7er, at 807 units it did outsell the Lexus LS (806) and the S-Class (750), while with Audi A8 sold only 108.

I can understand why CLS is up there the car is a one hit wonder. I own a CLS55 I love the car but im over the look of half and egg shell small windows but I can't hate on the car my best car ever...so quite but when you step on the gas you here that engine come to life amazing unexplainable.

wonder how the Audi A5/S5 is doing. Sat in an S5 today. Seemed extremely nice. on another topic, the new A4 seemed larger than the 3-series and more luxurious.

The Audi A5 is selling well ... I shoulda included it as a Hot car with 3,785 units YTD 2009 versus 2,360 the same period in 2008 (+60%). Great looking car - turns my head every time I see one.

I am not surprised that smart has dropped off. I have no idea why you would want this car. You can get a 4 door civic/corrolla/elantra cheaper with almost the same amount of mpg and can seat 4 and has a boot!
