Good point.
Mercedes just announced that there will be no successors for the A-Class and B-Class, there are not enough profits for these cheap models and they will focus on the more luxurious - and profitable - ones. It will be probably the same for Bmw, the 3-series (or whatever they will call it) will be the new entry level of the brand, if they can't sell as many cars anymore they will focus on the most profitable ones.
We have to be ready for a big change with the arrival of new players from China, starting from the lower range up to... who knows.
In any case, the drop in sales is not due to the design or anything else related to the cars, in Europe the situation is the same and all brands are affected, it's not a good time for many reasons (shortage of components, rising prices and leasing rates, uncertainty about the global political situation). It will be a tough year.
