Lexus's LS sedan remained dramatically (relatively) less popular than it was a year ago. For the fourth consecutive month and for the eleventh time since January 2011, LS sales fell on year-over-year terms. Much of this can be written off by the fact that supply was severely limited, but that doesn't change the fact that the LS's rivals are wildly more popular.

Though this may sound like Lexus-bashing, it's really more like proper honour being paid to the Europeans. BMW 7-Series sales rose 7.7% in March - Canada's new car market was up just 2.8%. Sales of Mercedes-Benz top-range sedan and coupe fell slightly in March but the Benz was still class-leading. Likewise, sales of Mercedes-Benz's biggest and most expensive SUVs slid in March, as well, but Mercedes was still the segment leader.
