From the press release:

"The track to record sales levels of the C-Class Sedan and Estate is unbroken. Since the beginning of the year, 109,050 units of these model series have been sold, 57.8% more than in the same period of the previous year."


WOW. That is a huge jump. The C-Class is a BIG winner and it is mainly due to the look and design inside and out. That interior is hitting consumers where it counts, as soon as you open the door to sit inside. Bring on the C63, C450 and C350e models. MB is on a roll. Growth in China is strong. The S-Class is on track to deliver 100K units this year worldwide. Mercedes has a chance at #1 now if they keep up this level of growth.

Pretty impressive results. The C is a definite hit, but it's taking a chunk from the E. I wish the new E and the C Coupe were coming out sooner.
