The Audi TT continued its steady improvement in November 2016, rising 17%, year-over-year. TT sales have more than doubled, year-over-year, and are on track to reach an eight-year high in 2016.

GCBC isn't 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 you'll see the Audi A5 here and with 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. Clearly GoodCarBadCar is not suggesting that the cars in the tables above are all direct competitors. Establishing categories among cars as unique as even the Audi TT and Porsche Boxster has never pleased a single reader, so cars have been lumped together so you can simply see how buyers looking for sports cars, roadsters, hot hatches, convertibles, GTs, and wanna-be sports cars spend their money. Greater categorization of cars would only lead to problems that automakers create by not isolating model-specific sales figures: we don't know how many M3s BMW has sold or how many Civics are Si models, for example. The numbers we do have are listed above. GoodCarBadCar is always open to hearing about the ways you would break down segments, so feel free to get in touch.

Sales of the X1's bigger brother, the BMW X3, also increased to more than 500 units. The X3's larger brother, the BMW X5, jumped 58% to 650 units, fourth among premium brand utilities in November. 

No premium auto brand sells more vehicles in Canada than Mercedes-Benz. But no premium auto brand operating in Canada sells more SUVs/crossovers than BMW. BMW calls them SAVs: sports activity vehicles.

BMW's SAV quintet is up 28% to 18,126 units through 2016's first 11 months, propelling the BMW brand to record sales of 35,067 units (an 8% year-over-year improvement) through 11 months despite an 8% drop in car sales. 

Mercedes-Benz, which has seen its car and SUV volume rise 5% to 37,637 units in 2016 so far, produced an 11% improvement to 17,891 SUV/crossover sales in 2016's first 11 months.
