Only eight months after the European premiere of the new Mercedes S-Class, sales of the sedan have topped 50,000 units. The new S-Class got off to a particularly successful start in its home market of Germany. In the first five months of 2006, the number of customers who bought the new S-Class exceeded the combined total of those who purchased the BMW 7-Series and Audi A8 . The new Mercedes-Benz flagship model has been available in the U.S., its main sales market, since February. S-Class sales have been “far stronger” in America than the figures posted for its German and Asian competitors, says Daimler Chrysler . The most popular S-Class variant is the S500, which has been the choice of more than 40 percent of all customers since the vehicle was introduced.
