The more interesting fact regarding the most popular premium brand vehicles in Canada last month relates to the limited number of cars on the top 15 list.

There are only four, as the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, 12th, 13th, and 14th-best-selling premium brand vehicles in Canada in January 2015 were all utility vehicles.

One such utility vehicle was the new small crossover from Lexus, the NX. 380 copies of the NX200t and NX300h were sold in Canada last month. Combined, the NX and better-selling RX accounted for 64% of Toyota Canadas Lexus volume last month.

° Escalade breakdown by variant
^ Mercedes-Benz Canadas figures combine the E-Class with the CLS and the S-Class with the CL.
$50,000 CDN (before delivery) is an arbitrary borderline, but if GCBC was to follow this new system of designating only expensive vehicles as luxury vehicles, $50K seemed like a safe place to begin - it equals the average U.S. new car transaction price plus $15,000, plus another $5000 to account for Canadian increases. Plenty of less expensive vehicles with specific models feature prices above $50,000 - M, RS, and AMG models come to mind, specifically - but in the case of this list, we know that none of the registrations were of cars priced at $35,900, as would be the case with the BMW 320i, which costs less than a Hyundai Santa Fe 2.0T Limited.
The new Cadillac CTS sedans base price is above $50,000, but not the base price for other cars in the CTS lineup. Yet. Total CTS sales in January: 45.

BMW led the list with the 5-Series, though 5er sales decreased in October. Indeed, sales of the three leading $45K+ vehicles all declined year-over-year, while four other members of the top 15 posted decreased volume compared with October 2013, as well.

Among all premium brand vehicles, regardless of price, BMW was again in front, although the 5-Series fell to sixth place when less costly vehicles are taken into account. The Acura TLX surged forward once again with continually rising sales: 4890 TLX sedans were sold in October, nearly double the total achieved by the TL and TSX a year ago.

Americas leading premium brand car line, BMWs 3-Series and 4-Series, finished the month 49,224-unit year-to-date lead over the next-best-selling premium brand car, Lexuss ES, and a 23,793-unit year-to-date lead over the next-best-selling premium brand vehicle, Lexuss RX. The RX leads the Acura MDX in the luxury SUV standings by 30,641 units. The Cadillac SRX is 8284 units back of the Acura heading into November.

$45,000 USD (before delivery) is an arbitrary borderline, but if GCBC was to follow this system of designating only expensive vehicles as luxury vehicles, adding approximately $15,000 to the average new car transaction price seemed like a fitting place to begin. Plenty of less expensive vehicles with specific models feature prices above $45,000 - M, RS, and AMG models come to mind, specifically - but in the case of the second list, we know that none of the registrations were of cars priced at $32,750, as would be the case with the new BMW 320i, which costs less than a Honda Accord V6 Touring. The biggest problem with a $45,000 minimum price of entry? Cars like the Cadillac XTS, which starts at $44,600.
^ Escalade breakdown by variant
In October, Infiniti sold 1258 copies of the Q50s predecessor, the G sedan, and 496 Q60s to go along with 2964 Q50s.
* BMW USA, not GoodCarBadCar, has chosen to combine sales of the 3-Series and 4-Series. GCBC combines sales of the Audi A4 and Audi A4 Allroad. None-Allroad sales were down 25% to 2268 in October.
Cadillacs new CTS - 3096 October sales - starts at $45,100, but the lingering CTS Coupe is a sub-$40K car, and the wagon starts at $42,195.

Top 20 Worst Selling Vehicles In Canada December 2014

Whether its due to discontinuation (e.g. Subaru Tribeca, Toyota FJ Cruiser), a replacement phase (e.g. Mazda MX-5 Miata), a steady loss in demand (e.g. Chevrolet Orlando), or a really good month last year that caused relatively normal December 2014 to appear small, 20 vehicles managed to find their way onto this list of the 20 worst-selling vehicles in Canada.

• Canadas 20 Worst-Selling Vehicles In 2014

Its an eclectic bunch, with city cars like the Chevrolet Spark mingling with supercars like the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG and big sedans like the Chrysler 300 spending time alongside luxury sedans like the Audi A7.

GCBC also compiled a list of the 20 worst-selling vehicles measured by volume, rather than year-over-year decline. Many of the same vehicles make appearances, but youll also find rare cars like the Honda CR-Z, Infiniti Q70, and Mitsubishi i MiEV.
