LARGE LUXURY CAR SALES IN THE USA - MAY 2010

Jaguar XJ
However ugly you (or I) think the Porsche Panamera is, there's not a soul on the planet who'd be surprised to see the Panamera picking up steam and quickly becoming Porsche's best-selling model. That fact being obvious, it must also be pointed out that Porsche's big hatchbacky sedan still sits far back of similarly-priced competition from Mercedes-Benz and Lexus.

Imagine, if you will, the buyer who cross-shops the Panamera and the Lexus LS. Yeah, I can't actually figure out who that person is either. But S-Class and 7-Series comparisons seem probable, and the Panamera trailed its German competition in May, too. Well, the Panamera trailed all German competition except for the Audi A8, a car which always deserves your attention but never receives it.

Then there's the Jaguar XJ. At the end of May a few buyers were finally treated to the challenging design that is Jaguar's 2011 XJ. Expect to see a higher sales total for Jaguar in June's Sales Stats, but how high is hard to predict. Even with a vastly improved product portfolio, Jaguar is a niche player in niche markets.

  1. the Panamera is ugly. but the profit off it pays for development of the 911 GT2 RS so we can all be happy.

    Here in Brazil, it outsells the S-class and 7-Series. The new Jag hasn't arrived yet. Audi has interruped importing the A8, till the next gen car arrives. Lexus is not officially sold here.
