There's been much to-do about the Luxury segment of the auto industry lately. Lexus formerly owned the segment but has seen declines following parent-company Toyota's "throttle gate" debacle. BMW and Mercedes still do very well, but Audi has been growing faster than the industry average, giving those looking for German luxury another option. Cadillac has seen successes lately with the CTS and SRX, though the rest of the lineup is a little weak. Lincoln's operation is currently going under the knife for major surgery to fix years of mismanagement. With all these changes, I thought it was time to step back and take a look at the sales numbers for last month.
