We’ve Come A Long Way

Mercedes-Benz USA sold more Geländewagens in 2013 than in any year since 2002 and more GL-Class SUVs than at any time in the nameplate’s eight-year history.

Toyota Land Cruiser sales rose to a five-year high in 2013, as did sales of the Lincoln Navigator. More Range Rovers found American driveways in 2013 than in 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, or 2012.

All in all, 2013 wasn’t a bad year to be selling very roomy, expensive sport-utility vehicles.

If you sell Cadillacs, 2014 will likely be a much better year than 2013, particularly in the first few months after the new Escalade arrives. Being the first to own the next Escalade is, for rich people, what it’s like to be the first to own the next iPhone if you’re a hipster.
