Canadian sales of a wide array of entry-level luxury brand cars declined sharply in August 2014. But the segment is so full of new players, and returning players, that entry-level luxury car sales grew 7% last month.

The Acura TSX, BMW 1-Series, and Volvo C30 are dead and gone. Sales of the Acura ILX, Audi A4, Infiniti Q50, Lexus CT, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, and Volvo S60/V60 all declined sharply.
But big gains from the Audi A3 (hardly part of the market a year ago) and hundreds of sales from newer nameplates like the BMW 4-Series and Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class boosted the broadly-bordered category.
Sales of their bigger brethren, meanwhile, increased 11% as the major players from Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi all recorded significant year-over-year improvements.

GCBC isn't here to break down segments, an impossible task for any group, but to display sales data for the sake of comparison. The more ways sales data can be displayed, the better. This explains why you'll see the XC70 listed with luxury SUVs and the Acura ILX with mainstream cars... because readers have wanted it both ways. You can always find the sales results for EVERY vehicle and form your own competitive sets by using the All Vehicle Rankings posts.
^ Acura combines sales figures of the outgoing RL with the new RLX. Mercedes-Benz's Canadian sales figures combine the E-Class with the CLS-Class. Audi Canada's A4 sales figures include sales of the Allroad.
^ Total Infiniti G/Q50/Q60 sales: down 30.1% to 339 in August, up 35.1% to 2577 YTD.
‡ The XTS, K900, and Equus aren't listed here because they're not massive - they are - but because their price points position them much more closely to, for example, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class than the S-Class. Genesis sales figures here do not include sales of the Genesis Coupe (as Hyundai's U.S. Genesis sales figures do), making the comparison with premium brand vehicles much more valid.
