Canadian BMW 3-Series sales continue to fall, opening up more opportunities for the Mercedes-Benz C-Class to win monthly titles as the best-selling premium brand automobile in Canada. For the ninth time in the last twelve months, 3-Series sales failed to rise as high as they had a year earlier. The 3-Series was down 13% in Canada in May 2012.
After the C-Class and 3-Series, the following nine best-selling luxury vehicles in Canada are utility vehicles of one kind or another. From the BMW X1 to the Lincoln MKX, 72% of the Canadian sales volume collected by the eleven best-selling luxury vehicles in Canada was SUV/CUV-derived.
Last month the Canadian automobile market grew 18% compared with May 2011. 23 of the 29 best-selling luxury vehicles eligible to report a year-over-year increase did so. In just its second month on sale, the Infiniti JX35 found 398 buyers in May, enough to outsell the BMW X5, Cadillac SRX, and Volkswagen Touareg.

Canada's overall top 30 best-selling vehicles were ranked days ago - there isn't a single luxury brand represented there.
