    It's interesting to see where Audi falls on the chart. I always assumed they were in close with Merc-Benz and BMW, but the gap is quite significant. I seem to see them all the time.

    I'll be curious to see this chart in 6 months to see how much of Mercury's sales Lincoln is able to absorb.

      That's an interesting question -- particularly in a year or three -- whose answer could depend heavily upon 1) what proportion of formerly Lincoln-Mercury dealers dual with Ford, and 2) to what degree Lincoln moves downmarket vis a vis Ford moving upmarket.

    Speaking of Genesis... I haven't seen the 2,400 sold in May on any of these charts. Or did I miss it?

    I fail to understand why are Buick and Mercury in this chart. GM may claim that Buick is a luxury brand. But the market certainly won't assert that. Buick could only sell at Avalon or Camry prices, period. Since TTAC isn't an outpost of GM, why should TTAC follow GM's empty claims so closely?
