Although anything can happen, especially since Merc beat BMW for November sales by >2000. It also seems Lexus is taking 3rd place from Audi.

Although you did not clarify whether you were talking about US or worldwide sales, the numbers you gave appear to indicate you are talking about the US (which makes sense since that is the topic of this thread):

Yet, Audi has never finished in front of Lexus in the US as far as I know. Certainly not last year:

It's true that the sedan is far from dead.
That said, BMW sold about 500 fewer passenger cars this November than they did last November, but over 3000 more light trucks. So the trend away from cars is very much alive.
