General Motors trio of vast three-row crossovers – Acadia, Enclave, Traverse - combined for another Explorer-besting 20,386 sales. 

Thats 62,891 sales across six nameplates, 63% more than the minivan segments total February volume, and we havent even yet included a number of other moderately high-volume three-row contenders.

Nissan sold 11% more Pathfinders this February than last; 7066 in total. 

Dodge Durango volume was down 12%, but there were still nearly 4800 sold, more than double the number of sales achieved by the surging Kia Sedona minivan. 

Fords disappointing 1318 Flex sales represents a 33% drop, year-over-year, yet the Flex sold nearly twice as often as the Nissan Quest.

This is where the buyers are.

GCBC isnt 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 youll see the Outback and Venza here but also with midsize cars, too, and the tweener-sized Sorento and Santa Fe are shown with midsize SUVs and small SUVs, and the pricey FJ Cruiser and Xterra with smaller utilities and the Volkswagen Touareg with luxury SUVs... 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.

This explains why youll see the the A7 and CLS here but also with midsize luxury 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. Sales data for brands such as Aston Martin, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Lotus, Rolls-Royce etc. are unfortunately not broken down by model. ANDC estimates say sales for those brands in the first two months of 2015 were 206, 354, 126, 30, and 154, respectively. Tesla, unfortunately, doesnt release model-specific monthly U.S. sales data, but HybridCars.com estimates 1400 February Tesla sales, 2900 YTD.

Auto News For February 16 2015 Mexico Surpasses Canada In Auto Production

2015 Jaguar F-Type Convertible Red
(Let us introduce you to GCBCs new daily recap of auto stories from around the web that are either important, informative, interesting, intriguing, or all of the above. Brought to you by GCBCs sometimes-photographer Steffani Cain, articles just like this will appear weekdays on GCBC. Ed.)

Here are six must-read, must-watch auto news stories, reviews, and videos for February 16, 2015.

REVIEW
Car & Driver drives manual and all-wheel-drive Jaguar F-Types. Their STM campaign isnt dead. Yet. "So considering the F-type R’s switch to all-wheel drive, all the time, we say the V-6 S is the F-type to buy for now."

INSIDE THE AUTO BUSINESS
The Globe and Mails article, Made in Mexico: An emerging auto giant powers past Canada, charts the changing landscape of the vehicle production industry in Mexico and Canada. "The shock waves from that shift are battering Canada, which for decades stood as a strong No. 2 behind the United States when it came to North American vehicle production, but has tumbled to No. 3 behind Mexico."

RECALL There hasn’t been a car recall since February 4th, when GM announced a “sudden loss of electric power steering” recall on old Malibus and G6s.

TTAC  The S-Class is ridiculous. "Mercedes-Benz USA sold S-Classes in four-digit numbers in each of the last 16 months. During the same period of time, the 7-Series and LS only topped the 1K mark four times apiece." Read yesterdays Cains Segments: January Sales Of Flagship Luxury Cars.

WATCH
evo’s Henry Catchpole and his hair and his beard spent some time with the Audi RS3. 


WATCH SOMETHING ELSE ALTOGETHER
Zach Lavine impressed at the 2015 NBA dunk competition. He did not jump over a Kia.
