For every Cadillac CTS sold or leased in Canada in January 2013, BMW sold or leased nearly twelve 3-Series sedans, coupes, convertibles, or Tourings. Compare that with the CTS's results in its home market where, in a rough month for both the Caddy and the BMW, the 3-Series wasn't quite twice as popular.
These results aren't surprising to Canadians who follow GCBC's monthly brand rankings. Cadillac, Lincoln, and the not-quite-there Buick accounted for 2.9% of the U.S. market in January. BMW, Mercedes-Benz (sans Sprinter), and Audi collected 4.7% of total U.S. volume. In Canada, however, where the Germans do own less of a less luxury-oriented market, their 4.4% market share stands tall compared to the dreadful 1.4% market share of the American trio. You read that right: barely more than one out of every 100 automobiles sold in Canada in January was an American brand luxury car, and that includes Buick.
