- Small Luxury Suv Sales And Midsize Luxury Suv Sales In Canada - January 2011
Selling midsize luxury SUVs and crossovers in Canada wasn't quite as easy for some automakers last month as it was in the same period of 2010. Unless you're selling a bigger German vehicle, that is. Sales of the Audi Q7, BMW X5, BMW X6, Mercedes-Benz...

After months of dominating sales performances, the BMW 3-Series finally faced a dip in Canada in January 2011. Oh, and what a dip. Sales fell from 448 to 443, a 1.1% drop that pales in comparison to the Infiniti G's 38% drop. Even as many small and...

Small Luxury SUV Sales And Midsize Luxury SUV Sales In Canada - December 2010
There are plenty of new automobiles more popular in the United States than the Cadillac SRX, but in the luxury SUV world, the SRX resides at the top with Acura's MDX and the Lexus RX. Canadians, however, for whatever reason, have not taken to the new SRX with nearly as much fervour. In fact, Cadillac's somewhat more expensive cross-town rival, Lincoln's MKX, isn't far from being twice as sought after. Given the Lincoln MKX's status as a tarted-up Ford Edge, an immensely popular utility vehicle in Canada, this shouldn't be all that surprising.
For a few hundred dollars less than the 2011 Cadillac SRX, Mercedes-Benz Canada will sell you a basic rear-wheel drive GLK350. It is that vehicle that's grabbed hold of the hearts of Canada's small luxury SUV buyers, as the GLK out-sold the SRX by 208 units in December 2010. Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class sales were up 27.6% in the final month of 2010; SRX sales jumped 33.7%. Meanwhile, Acura had a strong #2 finish with the aging RDX but sales were actually down slightly from 337 in December 2009.
As for the aforementioned Lincoln MKX and its competitors, Mercedes-Benz was unusually strong as a 64.2% increase over December 2009 shot the M-Class up to top dog status last month. The 2011 Mercedes-Benz ML350 4Matic starts at $57,400, approximately $16,000 north of the GLK350. Acura MDX sales jumped 39.8% while Lexus faced a decline of 40.1%, a fact which didn't trouble the RX's year-end positioning atop the standings.
