2010 Sales Overview

Buick, Cadillac and GMC?

Really?

Well... GM faithfuls that had traditionally bought Pontiacs Saturns and Hummers had to go somewhere.

They could had went elsewhere but this is a testament on how well GM cars are (currently) made. Well Joe it has been well past a week and GM stock is still strong along with sales.

If your statement was true, then Apple Computer Inc. stock value, placing them as the second highest valued company in the world, second only to Exxon, must surely make the best computers in the world, so all those idiot PC drivers better get with the program. Clearly, there are factors other than "build quality" affecting stock price. It's questionable if causality could be established at all.

THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HOW WELL THEY ARE MADE..THIS IS ONLY AFTER A YEAR...THAT GOES TO A GREAT MARKETING TEAM! YOU CAN TELL HOW WELL THEY ARE MADE AFTER DOING RESARCH AFTER THE OWNS HAVE HAD THE CAR OVER A PERIOD OF TIME!!!

SORRY CHARLEY!

Audi +23%, BMW +12%. Gentlemen, start your flame-throwers...

Uh....Infiniti + 27.5%

WAY TO GO INFINITI!!

BMW has pulled the greatest scam of the last decade 2000-2010. They did not sell all the cars that report shows as sold. They have been playing games all year (2010) with the finance boys in NYC & London. They coerce dealers to report sales that are not to end users. Under the guise of it keeps BMW AG's borrowing costs lower if the Wall Street analysts’ are pleased with the reported unit sales. The same game is going on at Mini to a lesser extent, but BMW NA has cancer, allot of cancer. Why else would the NADA dealer attitude survey of BMW dealers show BMW as dead last in the standings for all import brands? They, BMW NA have 25,000+ units reported in dealer inventory under the disguise of dealer demonstrators which count as sold units for BMW's purpose of reporting but in fact are not closer to driving the streets titled to owners then before the illusion of the sales numbers were published. BMW NA's yearly sales are lower by nearly an entire month from the real customer deliveries. All to keep the "Germans" happy and the financial guys playing the stock and ratings games quiet... The operation is one giant smoke and mirrors scheme and Jim O’Donnell should be ashamed of the mess he has knowingly created for the US market. He claims it is what Germany sent him here to do.....Could this be... it would be nice if someone reported the truth about this company instead of the lies they whip up for the consumption of the motoring press and financial analysts’.
Sometime soon they have to sell these cars…. When? It has not happened like they reported yet, so will they have a slow first quarter and quietly clean up the inventory debacle. Every BMW dealer in North America knows the numbers are false, say something.
Now that is the truth, debate it all you like, any dealer can do a country wide dealer demonstrator search on their DCS (dealer communications system) and get the real numbers of unsold cars to prove this post true. 3 series and 5 series units alone are more than 20,000 units unsold but reported as(dealer demonstrators) sold to the outside world… as of 1/2/2011
