MIDSIZE LUXURY CAR SALES - JANUARY 2010
Last year, The Good Car Guy provided extensive coverage of small luxury car sales in the United States and in Canada. With the BMW 3-Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, and Audi A4, Germany was, and will remain, the dominant player. Move up a category to "midsize" luxury cars - midsize only because there's one size class above - and Mercedes-Benz takes over from BMW as the preeminent mover and shaker.... at least in January of 2010 in the United States.
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class is the brand's bread & butter automobile. Customers pay huge money for an E-Class sedan, wagon, coupe or cabriolet; perhaps optioning up further to the AMG version. Even in relatively small Numbers, the Benz E-Class earns monstrous sums for Daimler AG and isn't about to slow down. As for the competition, the BMW 5-Series remains a decent seller even with a new generation on the horizon. Honda's Acura TL is on the low-end side of the segment but never seemed a fitting member of the small entry-luxury club, so here it be. And as can be clearly deciphered in the Graph below, the new Lincoln MKS is doing alright, thanks.

Small Luxury Suv Sales In Canada - June 2010
Maybe Canadians like their small luxury utility vehicles with an added dose of butch. Perhaps we're extra keen on European luxury, not the sort that comes across the border from the States. Whatever the reason, GM's brand-spankin new Cadillac...
