but the hearty segment right now is luxury. phil lebeau joins us live from chicago with huge trends. over to you, phil. >> simon, i've gotten a lot of questions over the last 24 hours. people were saying, why is luxury so hot right now and why was it so strong last month? three reasons really stand out. first of all, when you look at the luxury auto market, keep in mind these guys have increased their marketing. there is a lot more advertising out there, they're trying to win over buyers. especially when you enter the marketing level, there is a battle going on from the ats, the is, and they're offering aggressive leasing programs. bmw jumped 45% last month. they're offering leases between $455, $500. luxury leases up overall 31% in august, and that's at the entry level. look at the number of vehicles sold for these entry-level models. strong across the board. in most case they were up compared to last year. the ats is new to the market, but already 3300 sold last month, and it's that new competition. that's what's also driving

this district of luxury condos has been dubbed paris. substantial sums have been invested to develop it. the buildings echo classic european architecture. that's the style astana's moneyed home buyers are looking for. this property's selling point is the spacious rooms. it has three rooms in addition to the living room and an area of 160 square meters. there is also a concierge, proudly said to make it as comfortable as living in a five-star hotel. even the finest residential property doesn't impress armand but daniyal doesn't seem worried by that. in kazakhstan, an average worker's annual wages are about $6,000. yet properties costing over $1 million are selling briskly. the wealthy of kazakhstan are demanding the newest, the most dazzling things. astana, the boom town, is stirring up their appetite for extravagance. he was working until 5:00 p.m. this sunday but he's still meeting up with some co-workers. these few hours are the only leisure time he has in his week. he decides to go downtown to have some fun. this is the building that

luxury auto sales are almost double overall. bmw led the way up 45.7%. you see cadillac followed by lexus, audi and mercedes. at the bottom, up 15.3%. we were talking about why these luxury autos are in demand, in part because they are offering more generous and attractive leases fuch leases. if you look at a bmw 3 series right now, you can get into one for $450 a month. the i.s. lease payment is 259 a month. either way, these are incredibly generous and attractive offers, and that's the reason when you take a look at the auto stocks right now, yes, you're looking at the overall brand -- in this case, it's toyota -- but you want to take a look at what the luxury brands in each of the automakers is doing right now, because that's where we're seeing the strongest growth. i mentioned cadillac at the top. the ats is off to a hot start. it's the entry level market. that's where a lot of buyers are coming in right now and it's a big reason we saw strong numbers last month. >> here's the bad news to that story, and i decided to get negative for no good reason.
