I'm listening to the conference call, ouch. At least heavy trucks are doing fairly well.

• Net profit of €213 million (Q3 2007: net loss of €1,533 million)
• Unit sales down by 3% to 522,500 cars and commercial vehicles

Profit is down €1,320 million from a 3% decrease in sales? I doubt that, more like the profit was reinvested into things like R & D and (Hopefully) W126 levels of quality control.

Keep us posted on what you hear.

US car sales up approx 23,000 units/16% (tab10 excel) ytd.
Do "sales" include leases? Some folks still have money.

Mercedes is not GM. Thankfully!
