A done by Cox Automotive showed what brands luxury car shoppers are going for. Unsurprisingly, BMW topped the list.

The study, done by Cox subsidiary Kelly Blue Book, is called the Brand Watch Report. Undertaken every quarter, this latest study focuses on Q3 of 2021 and shows which brands either increased or decreased when coming across car buyers shopping radar.

While BMW topped the list with 19 percent of shoppers considering the brand, that’s a four point tumble from Q2 of this year.

BMW barely held onto the top spot. Shopping consideration for the brand tumbled by a hefty 4 percentage points from the previous quarter, the biggest drop among luxury brands. Of all luxury vehicle shoppers, 19% considered a BMW, down from 23% in the previous quarter and down from 22% in the year-ago quarter.

While shoppers considered the brand, KBB says models like the 3 and 5 Series along with the X3 and X5 fell off the list of the most-shopped luxury vehicles. Lexus is right on BMW heels with 19 percent of buyers considering the brand. Mercedes, Audi, and Tesla are right behind at 17, 16, and 15 percent respectively.

What about the brands buyers don’t want? The brands may not surprise you. Of the 20 brands on the list, 13 were under 10 percent. Buick is the first brand that dips under 10 percent, losing one point from the previous quarter. Lincoln is right behind, which says a lot when an actual luxury brand is trailing an entry luxe brand. Land Rover, Infiniti, Jaguar, Alfa Romeo, and Maserati bring up the bottom rung of the list with numbers under five percent.

At the very bottom are newcomers Rivian, Lucid, and Polestar. The brands are fairly new which is no which could explain their low percentage points. Rivian and Lucid each had one percent of luxury buyers considering it. And Polestar, who’s been on the market since late 2019, had no one consider it.

The Curious Case Of The Volvo S60 R-Design
The Curious Case Of The Volvo S60 R-Design
I like what Volvo is doing. After a long period of curious choices and mostly uninspired cars, Volvo has made a few nods towards vehicles that are simultaneously competitive and unique (as opposed to neither). The Volvo S60 R-Design may be the best example of this. The base S60 is...

For $1,450, Twin Stick It To The Man
During filming of the 1931 classic, The Champ, they used to tell child actor Jackie Cooper that his dog had been run over in order to get him to cry. Today’s Champ needs no such manipulation, although its twin stick gearbox might take some getting used to, as might its...

For $16,450, Get Z3- Pee-Oh’d
The Kathoey, or lady boys of Thailand, go to great lengths to appear to be something they’re not. Likewise, today’s Miata wears a disguise, and it also has a stick! But does its price need a disguise too? According to fable maker Aesop, familiarity breeds contempt, and while you may...

For $24,990, You Can Call Me Al
I think we can all agree that BMW’s first generation 3-series doesn’t get much love. That shouldn't be the case with today’s Pipe Alpina-branded turbo however, as it’s a freaking orgy. But, will its price and promise prove anticlimactic? While typically used to denote the victor of a contest, another...

2013 Volvo C30 Polestar: The Jalopnik Review
There are many forgotten cars on the roads these days. Cars you see in line at Taco Bell waiting for a Doritos Locos Taco that cause you to take a second and think to yourself "oh yeah, that's still a thing!" The Volvo C30 is one of those cars and,...

For $11,500, Wanna Whole Lada Love
Russia hasn’t always been all dash cam hilarity and meteor mayhem, it once represented America’s greatest rival and was the source of the world’s biggest communist bloc parties. Today’s Lada 2103 harkens back to that era, but does it come with a price that will make you see red, comrade?...
