Who were the winners and losers this month in luxury car sales? The new Mercedes-Benz GLK has gotten off to a very strong start, surpassing everything in the cute-ute category by a large margin. Infiniti's EX comes in at a distant second place. The Lexus GS, Audi A6, and Cadillac STS have dropped off dramatically. Infiniti sold almost twice as many M models than Lexus's GS. The 3-Series and 5-Series continue to dominate their class. The Acura TL has slightly picked up in sales, but still well behind the leaders. The S-Class came out on top this month in the flagship category. 7-Series sales are almost non-existent, considering there is a new model on sale soon.
