The number one car manufacturor in the world in the premiumsegment is BMW. That's what the figures show.

As i told Mercedes cars will be more than BMW's car mostly next year but they looks like to do it by the end of this year.

Im not talking about a single country, I`m talking global success!
It`s easy for you to say that MB is "not successful" when in fact thay are.
With the BMW models you mentioned I`d like to see 1 model, that has sold
1,000.000 cars over a 3 year period. You shouldn`t have mentioned the X3 and X5 since thay obviously don`t compete with the E-Class.

I`d believe you then.

Folks, I gotta tell ya. If you combine these sales figures with the new S-Class
I`d say Mercedes-Benz is the most successful car company in the world right now.

The f/l E-Class is just a smashing success alreay! those numbers are staggering!

Most successful car company in the world? Uh don't think so... neither is BMW.

Kia might be.

Only good news for the freshened up W211.

I don't know about most successful car company in the world, but it does mean a few things:

1. Mercedes' image is on the mend.
2. The Mercedes-Benz names still has a lot of power behind it, still has a lot of currency.
3. The newly FL E is being given a second chance by some of the very people in some of the markets it previous burned owners in quality. Not many car companies get this chance.

I never said they're NOT succesful, I said they're not the most succesful. You are talking about MB as a brand. You also mentioned the S-class. So is it that abnormal I mention other BMW's besides the 5 series? You didn't say the most succesful model, but brand.

face it, you let your fanboy-nature run wild and made a statement comming straight from your arse. Now accept you were wrong and move on. It might be MB regains the nr 1 spot in the future, be it near or distant. But it's not nr 1 in the present.
