Indeed, while most of its rivals are quite rightfully rather rare cars – they are expensive machines, after all – the S-Class is the 73rd-best-selling car in America so far this year, ahead of much less costly luxury cars like the Lexus GS and Cadillac CTS; ahead of cars like the Toyota Yaris, Chevrolet Volt, and Buick Regal which should be true volume players.

Combined, the S-Class's two best-selling direct rivals generated 12,758 U.S. sales in the first ten months of 2015. Mercedes-Benz sold nearly 18,000 copies of the S-Class.

GCBC isn't here to break down segments, an impossible task for any group, but to display sales data for the sake of comparison. The more ways sales data can be displayed, the better, right? This explains why you'll see the the A7 and CLS here but also with midsize luxury cars... because readers have wanted it both ways. 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, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Lotus, Rolls-Royce etc. are unfortunately not broken down by model. ANDC estimates say sales for Aston Martin and Lotus in the first ten months of 2015 were 850 and 126, respectively. Tesla, unfortunately, doesn't release model-specific monthly U.S. sales data, but HybridCars.com estimates 2100 October Tesla Model S sales, 19,800 YTD. Bentley, Ferrari, Maserati, Lamborghini, and Rolls-Royce sold 1917, 1903, 9543, 866, and 701 cars in the first ten months of 2015.
