Ok, well that was a bit confusing then, given you replied to my statement about one model stealing sales from another. Clearly that did not apply for December.

Combined they are roughly equal at 101k units between the years which is still not great given that 2015 was a record year that saw significant growth for nearly every automaker in the US (and up until late in the year BMW certainly looked like it was about to trend that way too).

BMW still sold the most luxury vehicles. One month does not make a trend. We'll see where things go for the 3/4 in Q1 2016. I suspect that sales will rise, and BMW is headed for another big year.
If any figure on this sheet look likes a cause for concern it is the new X1. I would have thought this vehicle would be very popular - certainly more so than the old one. It's still very early though - we'll see how it plays out in 2016.
