Added to that were 30 long-wheelbase Escalade ESV sales. In other words, the Escalade ESV outsold the whole Lincoln Navigator lineup, short and long-wheelbase models combined.

Mercedes-Benz Canada reported a 39% increase in sales of the GL-Class, a 40-unit improvement. Unlike the Escalade, QX80, Range Rover, LX570, and G-Class, the GL is available with a six-cylinder powerplant. It can also be purchased with a diesel engine.

read 407 X6 sales, as per BMWs correction.

Meanwhile, Lexus RX sales are up by 2667 units so far this year. The NX, arriving soon, will undercut the RX in price but should cater to a bit of a different buyer. 

BMW USA sold their first 262 X4s in July. Its hard to imagine that the X4 will be anything but an X6-like addition to the X3 range, as the X6 is to the X5. BMW sells eight X5s for every X6. July was just the beginning, but BMW sold six X3s for every X4. 

The Lincoln MKC arrived in late May but put up its first meaningful numbers in July, with 1534 sales. Porsche sold 952 Macans, meaning sales at Porsches utility vehicle range jumped 60% in July 2014. 

These luxury brand utility vehicles are the key part of premium auto growth in America. Evidence of that can clearly be seen in the smaller sections total, where sales grew 10%, or 1816 units, compared with July 2013. This isnt just down to the addition of the MKC and Macan. And even if it was, that would still suggest increased demand in the vehicle category.

During that period, stretching back to October 2013, Audis A8, Jaguar XJ, and Porsche Panamera havent done so once, while the BMW 7-Series and Lexus LS only did it four times each. 

S-Class volume was up 22% from 1281 units in January 2014 - the lowest-volume month in that 16-month span - to 1566 units.

Thats more than double the number of U.S. sales achieved by any of the S-Classs rivals in January 2015.

Sales data for brands such as Aston Martin, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Lotus, Rolls-Royce etc. are unfortunately not broken down by model. ANDC estimates say sales for those brands in January were 103, 177, 63, 15, and 77, respectively. Tesla, unfortunately, doesnt release model-specific monthly U.S. sales data, but HybridCars.com estimates 1300 January Tesla sales.
