Not a bad month for the F10/5GT with 4201 units sold, but still lagging behind the W212 E Class and variants which saw sales of 5751 cars in May.

In US you don't have the F11 that sells very well in EU.
An other reason is that the F12/13 is not on market yet.

In Finland the W212 sells only a bit better that the F10/11
but about 60% of the M-B's are taxi's.
To my dislike some (about 5%) of the F10/11's are also taxi's.

Yes, another solid month for the new 5er. The GT oddly had some juice this month nearly doubling from 110 units in April to 210 in May. But the MB E-Class continues to outsell the 5 series (in the past 12 months the E-Class has sold 9,637 units more than the F10).

And what's up with 7 series hotness? It jumped to 1,386 units (from 760 last month), while the MB S-Class falls to 872 (from 1,1081).

Other Notable Figures
The New Audi A7 is off to a good start with sales of 812 units this month (up from 408 last month)
Audi Q5 +12% over last month
VW Tiguan +11% over last month
Porsche Panamera stays strong with sales up slightly over last month and same month last year (616 in May)
The cute little Fiat 500 doubled sales to 1,759 (from 882 last month)
The all-electric Nissan Leaf also doubled sale to 1,142 (from 573 lat month)
The new Volvo S60 has solidly improved from 1,972 units last month to 2,405 this month
The Hyundai Equus has sold about just 250 units each month this year ... fail?
The Chevy Volt sold just 481 units in May ... fail?

I'm starting to see more and more on the streets here in Houston; enough so that I can finally tell the difference between the F10 and the 7 series.

What I don't see a lot of are the new Infiti M. I thought about getting it or an F10 12 months ago. I think that Infiniti has overpriced it to the point that buyers are choosing F10 or E-Class.
