BMW US Sales in Feb 2010<\/h2>\n

3-Series<\/strong> — 6.3% growth is good in today’s market.\u00a0 I would certainly be happy if CTS had growth in sales year \/ year.\u00a0 The upcoming Cadillac ATS will have to be in this range of sales \/ month if it is to compete with the 3-Series.<\/p>\n

Also note that 3-Series sales are up strongly from January 2010.\u00a0 As we move further into the corporate bonus and pay raise season do BMW sales show an uptick?<\/p>\n

5-Series<\/strong> — down 28.9% is worrisome.\u00a0 Cadillac CTS again outsold BMW 5-Series.\u00a0 A new 5-series is on the way, which may be muting sales?\u00a0 Sales of the 5er are down from Jan 2010 as well.<\/p>\n

SUV<\/strong> — Cadillac SRX sales in Feb of 3,465 were just below BMW SUV sales of 3,804.\u00a0 More room for growth of SRX sales there.\u00a0 Total Cadillac SUV sales, including Escalade, exceeded total BMW SUV sales.<\/p>\n

Joke of the day: <\/em><\/strong> What does Cadillac have to do to match BMW SUV sales?\u00a0 Cut Production.<\/p>\n

Total US sales for BMW for Feb 15,100 versus Cadillac sales of 9,273 units highlights the additional runway Cadillac has for vehicle sales.\u00a0 Cadillac is bringing the ATS to compete directly with the 3-Series, but it can’t get here soon enough for Sales.<\/p>\n

Obviously the XTS to replace the fast-fading DTS would also help a great deal.<\/p>\n
