Canadian LR2 (Freelander 2) sales have tripled in 2013 (as of October).

Land Rover Canada Sales Report

I guess the 2013 model year facelift is paying off. Land Rover also reintroduced the "SE" model and lowered the base price of the LR2 by around $4000 to $39,990 (from $44,990) after replacing the Volvo (designed) i6 engine with the Ford designed turbo 4 cylinder.
Canadians also love economy cars so the having the 4 cylinder engine as standard is a plus.

Interesting, didn't see many FL2s on my last trip mostly Range Rovers.

It could be the Meridian audio system that has caught some attention. I know that's what drew me to look at Land Rover. And I do like economy cars.
I was in Montreal recently and spied 5 Evoques driving about, but no LR2's.
