The Lexus RX reported a 5% year-over-year U.S. sales slide in November 2016 but was still, by far and away, America's top-selling luxury brand vehicle. 

RX sales, at 10,269 units, were 3008-sales stronger than the next-best Mercedes-Benz C-Class and nearly twice as strong as the next-best-selling luxury utility vehicle, the Cadillac XT5.

$50,000 USD (before delivery) is an arbitrary borderline, upgraded in 2016 from $45K last year by $5K, but if GCBC was to follow this system of designating only expensive vehicles as luxury vehicles, adding approximately $20,000 to the average new car transaction price seemed like a fitting place to begin. Plenty of less expensive vehicles with specific models feature prices above $50,000 - M, RS, and AMG models come to mind, specifically - but in the case of the second list, we know that none of the registrations were of cars priced below that borderline.
