Mercedes-Benz Sales Still On Target For Record-breaking 2007

At 102,700 units, deliveries of Mercedes-Benz vehicles at highest level ever for the month of November

Stuttgart -- Dec 06, 2007 -- Stuttgart – Mercedes-Benz has set a new sales record for the period between January and November, with 1,079,400 units delivered (Jan.-Nov. 2006: 1,042,500 units). Sales rose by four percent compared to the same period of the previous year. By selling 102,700 passenger vehicles worldwide in November, Mercedes-Benz once again topped the high level set in November 2006 with 101,900 units sold.

The Mercedes-Benz Cars division as a whole also established a new all-time high by selling a total of 1,169,900 units (Jan.-Nov. 2006: 1,147,600 units). In November alone, the division delivered 113,000 Mercedes-Benz, Maybach and smart passenger vehicles (Nov. 2006: 110,800 units).

The new generation of the E-Class continues to be in great demand: since the beginning of 2007, Mercedes-Benz has sold more than 150,000 units of this premium sedan worldwide.

The new C- Class is also continuing its successful course. In November, Mercedes-Benz sold 27,600 units - more than double the 13.700 units delivered in November 2006. Thus the sedan remains the worldwide market leader in its segment. On December 1, 2007, the new C-Class station wagon celebrated its market launch in dealerships throughout numerous European markets. In the coming months, it will gradually be launched in other countries as well.

Customers are also very enthusiastic about the Mercedes-Benz B-Class. Ever since its market launch in June 2005, more than 300,000 customers have bought the compact Sports Tourer.

The new smart fortwo has also very successfully established itself on the market. The number of vehicles delivered to customers in November rose by 61 percent to the record-setting total of 10,200 units (November 2006: 6,300 vehicles).

In the Asia/Pacific region, sales of the Mercedes-Benz, Maybach and smart brands increased by 28 percent in November to the record level of 13,100 units.

Mercedes-Benz Cars also achieved a new sales record in the U.S., where deliveries of passenger vehicles increased by three percent to 22,800 units (November 2006: 22,100).

Because of the weak domestic market and advanced purchases at the end of 2006 due to the impending sales tax increase, Mercedes-Benz Cars delivered 31,700 vehicles in Germany in November (36,800). By contrast, sales of Mercedes-Benz Cars vehicles in the rest of western Europe rose by six percent in November to 35,800 units (November 2006: 33,900)

Volkswagen’s 50-state-compliant Jetta TDI will be among the cleanest diesels in the U.S. Previews Amid the looming hordes of European luxury automakers planning a North American compression-ignition invasion in the next couple years, humble Volkswagen has announced its plans to return the Jetta TDI to the diesel dogpile in the spring of 2008.

2007 Tokyo Auto Salon - Part 5

We're psyched now that we can finally talk about our favorite vehicles of the 2007 Tokyo Auto Salon: the style wagons. These pimped-out minivans were our favorite part of the 2005 Tokyo Auto Salon, and after the disappointingly small number of VIP vans at the '06 show, we thought that the trend was dead. It turns out that the pimp-wagon scene was just resting, as VIP vans seemed to dominate the 2007 show. So what makes a minivan a "style wagon"? Basically, a style wagon is a VIP-styled minivan. As is the case with VIP sedans, most style wagons have a simple white or black paint scheme (though silver is also acceptable), tasteful aero kits, large chrome wheels and no fender gap. Within the style wagon scene, the main vans of choice seem to be the Honda Odyssey, Nissan Elgrand and the Toyota Estima. Though Americans would look at any of these rides as "just a minivan", the massive size of these vans allows Japanese tuners to let their minds run wild. Though t
