You just bought a new car, or are considering one. How does your choice compare to the rest of the country? Let’s take a look a sales figures for the first eight months of the year to see what’s hot and what’s not during what is expected to be a record year for Canadian sales.
Using data collected by the Automotive News, here are actual sales numbers, as reported by the manufacturers to the end of August. I have broken them into two lists – by company and by individual brands with number of units sold and per cent increase (or decrease) compared to the same period last year. This allows you to see what is hot, and what is not.
