The Mercedes C-Class is up a splendid 55% on November 2013 to climb onto the German podium for first time since June 2012 and only the second time in the past 3 years at #3 with 6,883 sales. It overtakes its archenemy the BMW 3 Series year-to-date at #6 and 54,708 sales vs. 51,978. The 3 Series is hit full frontal by the success of the new generation C-Class: it is down a very painful 36% year-on-year to a paltry 15th place, its lowest Germany ranking since July 2012. Despite sales down 25% YOY, the Skoda Octavia is back inside the Top 10 most popular nameplates in Germany at #9.
