Despite what the news says, the previous two months have been record breaking for RBM North. July broke our record when we surpassed our previous best set in August 2008. We sold 106 new and pre owned vehicles. When August started there was no slow down, just a continued steady pace. With that said we finished with 110 total vehicles.
The successes over the last 2 months are in part to the launch of the new E Sedan and Coupe and increasing popularity of the GLK. In reviewing the MBUSA August sales recap, the S Class was noted as selling over 1000 units for the month. Out-selling the new BMW 7 Series by a large margin.
I believe we will see contined growth with the introduction of our Hybrid vehicles, the new S400 Hybrid and the upcomming ML450 Hybrid. Next year we will see the new E Cabriolet and the SLS AMG. Great times ahead for the Mercedes brand.
