It is a close race, a single that most likely will not outcome in deep price tag cutting to move models, but is certain nonetheless to be on the minds of executives employed by two automakers until the clock strikes midnight for the final time this year. What the race is all about is this: the perennial sales battle among two German automakers, BMW and Mercedes, with BMW expected to pass Mercedes in globe sales totals for 2005. The ramifications are sturdy for each automaker and will set the tone for the way every single organization produces and markets vehicles from 2006 forward.
Mercedes finishing second to BMW is not a comfy taste for DaimlerChrysler, parent of Mercedes and now owner of The Chrysler Group, maker of Jeeps, Dodges, and Chryslers. Only Volkswagen sells a lot more cars than either make, but when it comes to a predominately luxury line up Mercedes and BMW battle alone amongst German makes with Audi a distant third.
In contrast to American automakers, Mercedes is not likely to engage in deep price cuts to attract customers and steal sales that they would have created in 2006 for 2005 to stave off BMW. Still, purchasers of Mercedes cars must find an even friendlier showroom in which to shop when they negotiate the cost on their C, E, or M Classes of autos.
So, precisely what has caused the shift in sales? Well, published reports indicate that Mercedes sales continue to rise, but slowly. On the other hand, BMW sales increases are in the double digit category which is what has pushed BMW ahead of Mercedes so far this year. Oddly, it isnt the luxury cars in every single automakers' fold that is spelling the distinction. Unknown to several Americans, both BMW and Mercedes sell cars that are smaller and less luxurious than the automobiles that seem in the states. Vehicles that compete squarely against Volkswagens Golf and offerings from GM, Ford, a number of Japanese automakers, and other people.
Yes, it is correct. Not all BMW or Mercedes models are luxury cars. In contrast to in the US where a Cadillac is exclusively a luxury auto, each German brands make cars for the rank and file driver as well. It is these sorts of vehicles that have fueled both automakers development and is most likely behind BMW jumping ahead of Mercedes.
To counter BMWs surge, Mercedes does have an ace up its sleeve: the introduction of one or two smaller lines of cars to the U.S. marketplace by 2007. If you havent figured it out yet, Mercedes has A and B Class automobiles that are smaller and less high-priced than the current child Mercedes, what we contact the C Class. Mercedes hopes that the US industry is ready for less pricey automobiles sporting the venerable Mercedes name and that these sales will propel Mercedes back into the lead.
Of course, what is good for Mercedes is excellent for BMW as the automaker explores bringing its 1 and 2 series vehicles to the US to compete for sales. Each lines of vehicles are positioned against Mercedes A and B class cars and are the very same cars that have bumped BMWs sales figures up.
Now if only Mercedes would contemplate importing its Wise auto to the US industry
