Great to see another excellent sales month for the new 5 series. More notable is the fact that the 5er outsold the E-Class here in the U.S. for the first time in 16 months (4,771 5 series not GTs versus 4,438 E-Class not coupes).

Other interesting new vehicles selling well in November include the Jaguar XJ, Audi A8, Porsche Panamera, and Infiinit M.

What did I say

It's interesting that the S-Class still f***s the 7 Series all the way.

The YTD sales for the 5 series is lower this year than last year. Hmm...

kscarrol

Keep in mind the YTD sales for the 5 includes first half sales of the E60 which were clearly falling ahead of the F10 introduction. Therefore the YTD sales figures are not a fair comparison in my mind...

acorradi87

I would think so too but I would also imagine that because the F10 is all-new that demand would be higher and cover some of the falling e60 sales. Keep in mind, however, that by 2009 the e60 was already 6 years old. That's a pretty strong sales figure for a model that's aging.

Yup, the F01 needs a face lift in the worse way, its just buttherfacE.
