Volkswagen Jetta 3,622
Volkswagen Golf 553
BMW X5 483
BMW 335d 427
Mercedes GL320 302
Audi A3 297
Audi Q7 226
Mercedes ML320 192
Volkswagen Touareg 186
Jeep Cherokee 68
Mercedes R320 60
Mercedes E320 8
Do you happen to have any information for the 335i? Also, do you know if BMW still had their eco credit ($4500 or w/e it was) available in April? I don't think it's fair to judge the success of a product if heavy rebates were applied to move it. I'm not suggesting it wasn't successful; I'm just saying we need to look at the overall picture.
