Sporty Car Sales And Premium Sporty Car Sales In America - February 2011
Mercedes-Benz USA sold 378 high-end 2-doors in February, 22% of which were SLS AMGs. The Gullwing Benz easily out-sold the Jaguar XK and Nissan GT-R last month. Not shown in either of these Graphs are the forgotten Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class and Lexus SC, both of which found a single buyer in February.
Then there's the much-loved Audi R8. Though no Porsche 911 in terms of U.S. market popularity, R8 sales are more than a little awe-inspiring for a car with a starting MSRP of $114,200. Audi R8 sales jumped 176% in February 2011 and fell in only 31 units behind the oft-ignored Audi TT, another GoodCarBadCar.net favourite.
Automotive News Data Center estimates that Ferrari sold 131 cars in February; Aston Martin another 67; Rolls-Royce sold 44; Lamborghini sold 27; and Lotus 19. All those figures represent an increase, all but Aston Martin which, ANDC estimates, sold 70 vehicles in February 2010.

GMC Granite
Feast your eyes on the Whatever the case, we think the Granite is a pretty neat little addition to the
burgeoning boxy-but-good small car market here in the States as currently defined by the Scion xB, Kia Soul and Nissan Cube. Unlike those production machines, though, the Granite is a bit tougher in execution, kinda-sorta like the Ford Synus concept from the 2005 edition of the Detroit Auto Show.
Take a tour of the Granite via our high-res image gallery below and feel free to make the jump to view the full press release. We also have video of the live reveal of the GMC Granite concept after the jump.

The Sexiest Audi e-tron
Slightly shorter yet just as wide as its predecessors, the Motown e-tron is a refined version of the concepts that came before it, with two electric motors driving the rear wheels and putting out a total of 204 horsepower and 1,955 pound-feet of torque (through some creative mathematics).
Comprised of an aluminum spaceframe coupled with a smattering of carbon fiber bodywork, the e-tron tips the scales at 2,976 pounds – split 40:60 and 550 pounds less than the previous concepts. With its reduced weight, more refined packaging and reworked drivetrain, the e-tron hits 60 mph in 5.9 seconds and – more tellingly – dispatches the run from 37 to 75 in 5.1 seconds. Audi claims the e-tron can run on a single charge for 155 miles after topping up from a 230-volt socket for 11 hours.
Along with a reworked interior, a new heat pump is employed to boost efficiency and adaptive headlamps modify their brightness and direction based on weather and steering input.
Audi restated that a production version of the e-tron will go on sale in late 2012, and this most recent concept is a clearer indication of what we'll see on the road in two year's time. Not only that, but Audi insists that the name "e-tron" will be a brand within the brand – like Quattro is today – and that means more e-tron-equipped models are most definitely in our future. Make the jump for all the details.

Minivan Sales And Truck Sales In America - February 2011
The refreshed 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan out-sold its Chrysler platform-mate by 2651 units while also out-selling its Volkswagen platform-mate by 9845 units. Please Volkswagen, bring us the Bulli.
As in the minivan market, domestics dominate the pickup truck sector. There were 130,919 trucks sold in the United States in February 2011. All but 20,920 were products of General Motors, Ford Motor Company, or Dodge. 28.7% of all pickup trucks sold in the U.S. in February were one version or another of the Ford F-Series. 34.4% of all pickup trucks sold in the U.S. in February were full-size GM products. And 83.8% of all trucks sold in the United States in February 2011 were full-size trucks: Cadillac Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Chevrolet Silverado, Dodge Ram, Ford F-Series, GMC Sierra, Nissan Titan, Toyota Tundra.
You can see why Ford doesn't want to bother importing the next Ranger. Fewer than two of every ten trucks sold isn't a big'un; only one in five of those remaining truck sales belonged to Ford in February.

New Vehicle Market Share By Brand In The UK - February 2011
Vauxhall, with 310 Chevrolets on its side, saw its market share rise from 12.6% in January 2011 to 16% in February on the backs of five models which made it onto the list of the UK's Top 10 Best-Selling Cars list. Though the UK car market fell by 7.7% compared with the same period of 2010, Vauxhall sales jumped 23.4%. Meanwhile sales at Ford fell 23.9%. Mercedes-Benz sales rose 38.4%; Nissan sales were up 37.3%; Saab was up 90.5%; and Lotus sales improved from 18 in February of 2010 to 59 in February of 2011. Hooray.

Third-ranked Ford posted sales of 7542, some 3965 ahead of fifth-ranked BMW.
Honda came in at tenth position with a 23.2% jump and total sales of 2049. Hyundai and Toyota were just beind with respective sales of 2032 and 1956. Then came Renault, Skoda, Kia, Fiat, Mazda, and Mini, after which sales dropped to fewer than 900 per brand. Nissan finished the month in seventh with 2881 sales, just behind Peugeot's 3052, but just ahead of Mercedes-Benz's 2661 and Citroen's 2499.
