6 out of 10 are negavite sale numbers. What does that tell you.

Its time for MB to bring out the new "C" and "CLK" before lexus/Audi/BMW drives them out of this segment.

As times goes by, BM seems more like an old fart.

You should learn how to read before commenting.
First of all it's 12 models not 10.

MB June sales for the C class was more than the yearly sales for the IS (2005). They almost matched the monthly sales of the new IS.

The C and old IS were introduced the same year (2001). June #s for the 6 year old C are almost dead even with #s of the brand new IS.

That is truly pathetic.
