Top 10 U.S. luxury car states

Strongest...
Or like me, the world's weakest "strong" man... or was that the world's strongest weak man...
Someone asked why another state listed before another... I think they only list top two for luxury and the total by state is total of all vehicles, not just luxury... but the list is somehow listed by just luxury vehicles. Very strange indeed...

No doubt CA is the highest in new-car sales. I agree. Has been for years. But the whole D.C. area has grown into some of the most incredible sprawl, traffic, and gridlock you could imagine. Most ratings have it second now only to SoCal. Fairfax/Loudoun Counties, VA, and Montgomery County, MD, both D.C. suburban counties, now have the highest-average incomes in the nation, eclipsing all of CA except Beverly Hills and Hollywood. Little wonder we trail only CA in new-car sales.
But back on topic, which is about luxury brands and what percentage of total auto sales are luxury vs. other. Yep, I do notice many more Mercedes than Toyotas in the parking lot of the country club 1/2 mile from my house, but I don't think that has much merit in the discussion.

I'm thinking that the Maserati sales in the niche category are in part due to the more affordable price point...they are at the cusp of the ultra-luxe class, with a Quattroporte beginning around $106K...not too different from the LS 600h L $105K...but with a more exclusive badge and more unique/rare vehicle design.
And I don't know why they ranked certain states that way, despite the numbers telling perhaps a different level. They also have slightly different totals for Lexus/BMW/Mercedes sales. I was also surprised at the margin in Texas, where Lexus is quite ahead of the 2nd place contender by a full digit place.
