I just took a look at the automotive sales numbers for September. It was a good month for Lexus and a horrible month for BMW. Lexus sold 16,888 cars (compared to 13,674 in September of 1999).
BMW only sold 4,760 cars this September (compared to 8,610 car in September 1999). The 3-series and Z3 both got spanked really bad.
Lexus sold 2,445 IS300s compared to only 1,641 3-series BMWs.
One thing that really caught my attention was the fact that the new Nissan Sentra's sales are almost triple those of the previous body style. http://www.ai-online.com
Yeah, in September, the 323 and 328 were mostly gone, the 325 was unavailable, and the 330 was very limited. The Z3 never sells very well, but especially not with winter coming.
