Even though demand for cars in Europe has tumbled, BMW (BMW), Volkswagen (VOW), and Daimler’s (DAI) Mercedes-Benz are all likely to post record sales for 2012. Deutsche Telekom (DTE) is partly to thank for that.

Daimler Betting Small Can Be Big
Perhaps nothing symbolizes the Mercedes-Benz brand like its classic S-Class model. But while the big sedan is set for a remake next year, expect Mercedes and the sibling Smart brand to put an increasing emphasis on downsized products that reflect the ongoing shift in the global luxury market.
