  |  DaimlerChrysler to cut Mercedes C-Class production -
12-05-2005, 04:26 PM
FRANKFURT (AFX) - DaimlerChrysler AG is cutting back the output of Mercedes-Benz C-Class cars in the main production facility in Sindelfingen from January, Handelsblatt said, citing a company spokesman. It said the spokesman declined to give any reasons for the decision. The report added that although it is normal for a car to post declining sales towards the end of a 7-year life cycle, sales of the C-Class have fallen more steeply than expected. A new C-Class will be launched in two years. In the first ten months of this year, C-Class sales have declined by 13 pct to 335,600 units. - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER Forbes: - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER So much for a C63 in current form.  |

Im looking forward to the next C class! The E class should come out before the C class right, or is the order going to get screwed up.... |

The redesigned C class will come before the redesigned E class like it has the last couple of times, there will be no screw up. The facelifted E class will be released before the redesigned c class. |

That's strange because it's selling relatively well in Germany (sold numbers for Jan - October 05) : AUDI A4, S4 82.102 BMW 3ER 74.495 MB C-KLASSE 67.505 Maybe B-Class ist stealing some C-Class customers, but that's ok for MB ( no Audi , BMW competitor here ):  B-Class (Feb-Okt) 22.560 FORD GALAXY 10.814 OPEL ZAFIRA 34.979 VW SHARAN 12.275 VW TOURAN 65.220 and other numbers I currently found: AUDI A3, S3 55.296 BMW 1ER 47.164 MB A-Class 75.338 OPEL ASTRA 101.551 VW GOLF, JETTA 203.223 Sorry for beeing a little bit OT.

For Germany that may be true, but globaly, the E90 (as well as the B7) is destroying the competition. From what I heard some dealers in the USA are pissed of cause they can't get enough E90s. |
