BMW's 3-Series was the top-selling premium brand vehicle and Canada's 35th-best-selling vehicle overall. The 3-Series generated 55% of BMW's volume. GM's attempt to make Pontiac into Detroit's BMW was soon to take a big hit - Pontiac no longer exists - but the brand did account for 26% of GM Canada's sales in 2007, outselling Buick, Cadillac, and GMC in the process.
Among Canada's 40 top-selling vehicles, five were Pontiacs, including the 13th-ranked Pursuit, a Chevrolet Cobalt twin. Combined, the Cobalt and G5 Pursuit outsold all but two vehicle lines.
