Mercedes-Benz USA's Sales Drop 30.5 Percent In May 2009
The sales figures for the month of May 2009 are in, and Mercedes-Benz USA is reporting that for the month, sales dropped a total of 30.5 percent to 15,134 new units. As a result, sales at MBUSA now total 69,933 new units, down 29.9 percent when compared to 2008's five-month year-to-date total.
As for the models making headlines, all of MBUSA's model sales were in the red for the month, save for the GLK-Class, of which 2,598 were sold. Then again, the GLK wasn't on sale last year, so it's not really a fair comparison. Looking at the models that were on sale, the month's biggest loser award goes to the CL-Class, with sales of the coupe dropping 77.1 percent to just 68 units. Sales of the CLS-, R-, S-, and M-Class were all down significantly as well, with the group dropping 64.8 percent, 59.4 percent, 54.9 percent and 47.5 percent, respectively...
