TLX is Canada's #5 best selling premium brand car

This is an interesting article on the top 25 selling premium brand cars in Canada in 2015:

Canada?s 25 best-selling luxury cars in 2015 - Autofocus.ca

Our TLX is #5 on the list! In fact, little brother ILX also made it at #12.

Interesting numbers and comments for other vehicles such as the Q50 and the IS, both of which sold less than the TLX so far this year.

That's just I4 and SH-AWD, right? They don't have a PAWS model in Canada?

Acura US might as well drop the P-AWS, too.

Yes , we have V6 PAWS , but I think SH-AWD is more popular due our winter

Americans are too busy buying pickup trucks.

So what is wrong with a pickup truck?



BTW: 577 cars in July, which was one of their better months, does not say a whole lot about Canadian premium car sales

Keep in mind that the U.S. population is 10 times the Canadian or thereabouts. So that number is equivalent to 5770 U.S. sales.

Not sure what raw population numbers has to do with it. If raw population numbers did have any relevance then the US TLX sales, July 3530, are truly in the tank by over 2000 cars.

The implication is your frame of reference for Canadian sales is compared to US sales. By that comparison, Canada is outperforming the US, as Canada has 1/10th the population. No one has said the TLX is in the tank in the US. You brought up that uninformed nonsense.

Interesting, you are aware that the premium sellers MB "C", BMW "4", BMW "3", Infiniti "Q50" favor US sales in the 9/10 to 1 area vs their Canadian counterparts?

The useless pickup also does better in Canada especially the F-150 with 11,000+ sales in July 2015. This has it beating the 1/10 population spread against 66,000 US sales the same month.

Interesting since 75% of the population lives within 100 miles of the US border & 80% of the population is urban. F-150 urban cowboy traffic jams in Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver & Calgary?

Most of the F-150's are in Calgary, Edmonton, Regina, Saskatoon, and Fort McMurray, not to mention the northern BC areas. You won't find many in Vancouver, Montreal, and Toronto.

Not sure how it plays out in sales but the largest F150 dealer in Toronto has about 100 more F-150's in inventory than the largest dealer in Calgary.

Maybe because Toronto's population is twice the size of Calgary's? Toronto's pretty much the economic center of Canada.
