S-Class sales remain down on a year-to-date basis following 2014's full launch year of the segment standard bearer. 

All of the S-Class's direct rivals are faltering as well, many in a worse way. BMW's 6-Series, which takes into account not only the Gran Coupe (which is a sedan) but an actual coupe and convertible, is up 17% this year.

May 2015, however, was a superior month than last year for these big sedans (and coupes) from luxury brands. Even compared with May 2013, their sales were up 21%.

GCBC isn't here to break down segments, an impossible task for any group, but to display sales data for the sake of comparison. You can always find the sales results for EVERY vehicle and form your own competitive sets by using the All Vehicle Rankings posts. Sales data for brands such as Aston Martin, Bentley, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Lotus, Rolls-Royce etc. are unfortunately not made available in Canada. Tesla doesn't release a monthly Model S sales report, either. ANDC estimates for Bentley, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Rolls-Royce were 57, 90, 50, and 30, respectively, in the first five months of 2015. Tesla sold 564 cars in the first four months of 2015. Total Maserati volume is reported, but not by specific models. GCBC shows the Cadillac XTS, Hyundai Equus, and Kia K900 with midsize luxury cars not because of their size, but because the price points are much more directly comparable.
