In September 2015, for the third consecutive month, the best-selling premium brand car in Canada was the BMW 3-Series.
Year-to-date, the 3-Series trails its chief rival, Mercedes-Benz's C-Class, by 750 sales.

BMW does, of course, have the benefit of selling thousands of 3-Series offshoots. 4-Series volume is up 55% to 3877 sales through the first nine months of 2015.
Yet while Mercedes-Benz's C-Class is soaring, its big brother, the E-Class, is tumbling.
And while combined 3-Series/4-Series sales are up 10%, the 5-Series is, like the E-Class, down 20%.

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.
^ 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.
‡ 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.
