Lexus grabbed the luxury brand title for August, but Mercedes-Benz's leadership in the category, even without the Sprinter, was helped last month by BMW's brutal month. The new X1 delivered an extra 576 sales, but 5-Series sales slid 61% and the 3-Series was down 29%.

BMW's 19% decline was bested (worsted?) only by Mitsubishi's 47% slide. Mitsubishi's product lineup has been shrink-wrapped, now mainly consisting of the Outlander, Outlander Sport, and Lancer.
As a whole, General Motors improved 10%. Ford Motor Company was up 13% and is up 6% through the first eight months of 2012. Through eight months, Chrysler Group LLC is up 26%.
Honda, Acura, Volkswagen, Mini, Scion, and smart are the headline grabbers when it comes to year-over-year percentage increases. At the volume end, Honda and Volkswagen reported 57.9% and 62.5% improvements. Scion, with plenty of help from the new FR-S - an additional model in the family - jumped 112%.
