Global sales of BMW Group’s core brand rose faster in June than at Audi and Mercedes-Benz as demand from China and the United States helped the premium carmaker to extend a lead over the two rivals in the first six months of the year. Sales at the brand were up 9 percent last month to 153,075, the group said today, compared with growth of 5 percent to 140,300 and 8 percent to 131,609 at Audi and Mercedes respectively. Six-month sales at BMW brand rose 8 percent to 804,000 cars, expanding the lead over runner-up Audi to 24,000 from 11,000 after five months. Half-year sales at Audi and Mercedes rose 6 percent each to 780,500 and 694,000 respectively. “BMW has stronger momentum than Audi and Mercedes, that won’t change in the second half,” said Hanover-based NordLB analyst Frank Schwope. “Design of their cars has improved and they’re ahead on fuel-saving technologies.”

Saw this today and thought I’d post it — it’s cute. Just Madonna out for a daily drive with Clive Owen. Granted I was never really much of a Madonna fan anyway so when I saw this, I was like Oh, ok. I mean I like the songs and she has stayed on top of the music industry for a long time so she does command and deserve respect. But I’m not so sure that she still deserves all the hype she gets. I’d take Cyndi Lauper or Tori Amos any day of the month over Madonna. She was just never at the top of my a-list … my apologies to any Material Girls out there who may be offended. Please feel free to leave a comment if I touched a sore nerve or upset the Zen balance in your material world — just don’t remain Silent After all These Years — let it out, because [...]
