In September 2013, for the first time since April 2011, Porsche Canada sold more than 50 Panameras.
BMW didn’t sell that many 7-Series sedans and Mercedes-Benz certainly didn’t sell that many S-Class sedans (and CL-Class coupes) in September.
Jaguar XJ volume, up 183%, couldn’t hold a candle to to Porsche’s September Panamera output.
2012 was the best sales year for the Panamera since the biggest Porsche car debuted in 2009. After a challenging start to the year, however, breaking that record in 2013 will require more big gains in the fourth quarter, something Porsche anticipates on a global basis.

The Panamera continues to be the ugly duckling in a segment full of attention-grabbing cars. Its interior, however, is a winner, and dynamically, the Panamera is hard to beat.

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, right? This explains why you’ll see the BMW 6-Series here as well as with sporty 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. Sales data for brands such as Aston Martin, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Lotus, Rolls-Royce etc. are unfortunately not made available in Canada. Tesla doesn’t release a monthly Model S sales report, either, but we do know that Tesla sold 440 copies of the Model S in the first eight months of 2013. estimates for Ferrari and Lamborghini were 18 and 4, respectively in September. Total Maserati and Bentley volume is reported, but not by specific models. GoodCarBadCar removed the Audi A7 from this post – still showing it with midsize luxury cars – as its Canadian pricing bears much more resemblance to, for example, the E-Class and 5-Series than it does to the S-Class or 7-Series . Mercedes-Benz’s Canadian sales figures join the CLS-Class with the E-Class.
