MB offers 5 cars, 5 SUV's and 3 roadsters.
BMW offers 5 cars, 3 SUV's and 1 roadster
Are Smart Cars and MINI's factored into these numbers?
To answer your questions, the sales #s for smart, MINI, and Sprinter vans were NOT included. Surprisingly, M-B has been ahead of BMW all these years, but Lexus has topped M-B for the past 13. So BMW topped both M-B and Lexus...if I read correctly.
BTW, the numbers separating(sp?) the two German brands were only about 2,500-2,600 units. Both brands had better than usual December sales numbers, but BMW managed to pull just that small bit ahead by December 31st.
in sales numbers or lemons built?

Just imagine all of the bad electronics that will be in salvage yards 4 years from now. Epic!
America is becoming more douchey?
(I bought a BMW this year too)
I can believe it.. I see a LOT more BMWs than MBs around here... and yes, the stereotype is alive and well for 99% of them
I've been saying it for years, BMW makes a better car than MB. I'm sure the MB fans are going to flame me for saying that but it's true.
I have been in both.. I think BMWs ride better and are more comfy than most MBs.. that said, I have never been in the BIG Benz's.. just the small and mids
If I was looking for a bruiser, AMG C63. Anything else luxury wise, BMW.
I found an ad on my "local" CL for a 2001 S500 AMG. The price? $7999. The "kicker? About 250K miles!!!.
My sister won a 2001 S series when M-B of North America "raffled" one for existing owners (my BIL has an E-class), her's was a S420. Never was invited to even sit in it. She eventually sold it and her 1999 Mustang to get a Prius. She thinks the Prius is one great car.
