A Canadian Lexus LX570 acquisition was as rare an event as the acquisition of a Nissan GT-R in November 2011. The main difference resides in the trending direction: GT-R sales jumped from two in November 2010; Lexus LX sales fell from 15.
The gigantic Lexus SUV remains the cheaper option. At $89,950, the 383-horsepower LX costs $19,950 less than the 530-hp junior supercar of a Nissan, a car which costs 22% more in Canada than it does in the United States.
The LX doesn't appear to even enter the equation for most buyers of large luxury sport-utility vehicles. Total Cadillac Escalade sales were up 4% to 118 in November, making the 'Slade nearly 17 times more popular than the Lexus. Even Toyota's Land Cruiser, a Lexus LX relative which isn't officially marketed in Canada, was three times as likely to be acquired in November than the LX570.
At the top of the heap is Mercedes-Benz's GL-Class - along with the ultra-rare G-Wagen - which together reported a 26% year-over-year jump. G/GL-Class sales are up 24% through the first eleven months of 2011. This means that for every buyer who walks into a Canadian Mercedes-Benz dealer to buy an S-Class orS-Class Coupe CL-Class, Mercedes-Benz's flagship SUV pair finds 2.3 buyers.

Although distinctly less popular than its two more famous rivals, the Lexus LS was a rare breed in Canada's luxury limo sector last month. The LS was up 12% last month; every one of its rivals didn't fare as well in November 2011 as they did in November 2010. Nevertheless, BMW sold more than twice as many 7-Series sedans as Lexus did LS sedans, and the combined efforts of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and its coupe brother, the CL-Class, was even more popular.
Of course, popular is a difficult word to use when you're talking about cars which, collectively, amounted to 0.014% of Canada's new vehicle market in November. South of the border, the very same six cars accounted for 0.05% of all new vehicle sales last month.
