"The new very popular S-class, selling 52% more than last year, contributed a lot to the Mercedes sales increase."

And people here were saying that it would flop. OWNED. :p

Seriously, the new S-Class is an amazing car. At first, I thought it was ugly as sin but it grew on me. Now, I desire it more than a 7-Series, which looks porky next to the S-Class.

Considering there's a revised E class to come this year Mercedes should do OK for the rest of the year.

Question is why isn't Mercedes creating a bigger sales splash in the market? Is 4% year-on-year growth good enough when you have three new lines of trucks [R, M, GL], a new S class and a heavily revised SL class? I don't think so!
