LOL. "Recovery" is selling 41 fewer units as a brand than did the Honda CR-V as an individual model.

Volkswagen sells more cars than any other brand. Even after dieselgte. You're the only one laughing.

Hell yeah I'm laughing. Selling meager cars with a less than 2% margin isn't something to brag about (for the VW brand specifically).

Wow, Mercedes outsold volkswagen for the month??? Well, since the luxury race is boring as of late due to Benz dominating, I guess I found my new race.

Mercedes-Benz vs Volkswagen, 2 months 2 go, anything could happen!
