I think the prior iterations of those cars sold well. It baffles me why the current generations didn't do as hot as they were much improved, especially the Q50 compared to the G37.

#1 reason in my mind is the rise of the CUV. Automakers have shifter their focus to that market and neglected their sedans. The current IS and GS were excellent cars when they came out and sold well, but that was like 6 yrs ago. With the sedan market contracting, some brands are going to be left behind, especially with how aggressive the Germans are with their leasing.
