How do they decide with Mercedes what counts in the totals? If you are talking raw numbers, Mercedes should win every year over BMW since they sell Smart and Sprinters here. And I wouldn't put it past Mercedes to start selling their semis here and other large trucks here.
The reason I bring this up is what defines a luxury car in these numbers. For example, in Europe, do they consider the A-class (which is just a simple hatchback) or the B-class (which is a small people carrier) in their luxury numbers?
Well, I don't think that Smart counts in the numbers. The sales may be bounded by whatever segment each companies models officially fit into. As for Europe, these numbers are only for US, which more side steps your question than answering it.
It might be worth it to look a bit deeper into the numbers though.
It's tough to say at this point. I think both car makers offer up great vehicles, since they're going into new generations and doing major refreshes right now, I think we need to wait for sales numbers which could surprise us.
So far I think CLA sales will beat 2 series gran coupe sales by far.
yea it gets a bit sketchy when it comes down to the details
BMW also has the new 4 series and 2 series this year too which could boost sales.
