I saw a chart in the Wall Street Journal yesterday that showed the fastest moving US models in July (based on average number of days on the dealer's lot). The 7 and 5 series were among the top 12 quickest sellers.

8 of the 12 models were from the Toyota family. I guess quality (Toyota) and performance (BMW) sells.

Makes sense. BWM has the new 3 series, the new engine in the 530i and the updated 7 series. I think their sales will look good for the rest of the year.
