When it comes to sells, Mercedes beat Lexus

Sales have increased for luxury automobiles greatly over the past year, but September, 2009, saw a significant drop in auto revenue overall . A 43.8 percent increase was posted by Cadillac for 2010. Of course, it really has only been an 11 percent increase since September 2009. There was a 22 percent boost for Mercedes. This was from January 2010 though. Overall, Mercedes beat out Lexus in vehicles sold. This was after Mercedes lead the path all year long until September.

Incentives have vanished

Luxury brand incentives are hard to discover. They just do not seem to exist anymore. More people buying high end vehicles and getting auto car loans is a good sign. It means that the economy may be returning.
