There are a few exceptions like the Land Cruiser, which is an SUV (ironically enough) that is very popular overseas in worldwide markets, yet sells at low volumes in North America.

I'm just speculating, but I'd imagine the X3 sells way more overseas than the X5 due to it's more compact size.

I see a lot more (and I mean a LOT) X5s over the X3 here. But that's only in Sydney, dunno about everywhere else. It seems like the mid-size SUV's are the most popular (judging from what I can see on the roads... Prados/GX470, X5s, Discovery3s, X5s etc.) compared to the bigger ones like Range Rovers (although there's a lot of Landcruisers).

You see a lot more X5s than X3s over here as well. The X3 was universally panned when it came out due to its cheap build quality and dodgy styling. That and being nearly as expensive as a X5 anyway. It didn't help that Top Gear did a hatchet job on it as well causing dozens of cancelled orders at dealerships. The quality is better now though.

I wonder if the new Lambo SUV will be made in Bratislava, Slovakia as well even though it's Italian.
