$ 45,000 USD (before delivery) is an arbitrary limit, but if GCBC was to follow this system of designating only expensive cars and luxury vehicles, adding about $ 15,000 for the average price of new car transactions seemed an appropriate place to start. A lot less expensive vehicles with specific models come with prices above $ 45,000 - M, RS and AMG models come to mind in particular - but in the case of the second list, we know that none of the records were cars at a price of $ 32.750, as is the case with the new BMW 320i, which costs less than a Honda Accord V6 Touring. The biggest problem with a minimum price of $ 45,000 entry? Cars like the Cadillac XTS, which starts at $ 44,600 and $ 44,895 SUVs like the Chevrolet Tahoe.

^ In April, Infiniti also sold 1,525 copies of the predecessor of the Q50, the G sedan and 846 Q60s.

^ Regular wheelbase Escalade, Escalade selling, found 877 buyers in April.

* BMW USA, no GoodCarBadCar, has combined sales of the Series 3 and 4 series. Sales A4 All road here include, without which the A4 sales rose 0.8% to 3,167 in April.

New Cadillac CTS - 3270 April sales - starts at $ 45,100, but the persistent CTS Coupe is a sub- $ 40K car, and the car starts at $ 42.195.
