What a difference only a month can make. 30 days ago, we reported that Chrysler, Hyundai Kia would likely be climbing up the sales charts. Well, none of that happened in August, as GM, Toyota and Mazda held on to their rankings. But the year ain't over yet.

Monday, June 06, 2011
May 2011 might historically be regarded as the period when the full effect of Japan's natural disaster were first felt, at least in the automotive business. In the Tsunami's wake, plants, factories and assembly lines were shut down and most have yet to return to producing anything.

October sales in Canada: light trucks continue to outsell cars
Thursday, November 04, 2010
An increase of only 1.4% compared to October 2009 might not seem like a reason for celebrating, but it's actually the highest sales total ever recorded during the month of October in Canada. Light trucks are still selling more than cars, and will likely finish the year with a higher sales figure for the first time in history.

Tuesday, September 07, 2010
Summer is over, or just about, and we're sure that a number of manufacturers are very happy about this fact. Traditionally, the warm season marks a slow-down in sales but given that the 2011 model-year is already well under way, some brands managed to thrive last month.

June 2010 sales
Tuesday, July 06, 2010
Well, June 2010 has already become part of history and for everyone concerned, that's a good thing. Why for everyone?

May 2010 monthly sales
Wednesday, June 02, 2010
Overall, May of the year 2010 was quiet. The big picture says that sales increased by less than half a point so there isn't much to say... Or is there? This piddly growth was brought on by some serious sales explosions for some manufacturers and massive implosions for others.

Canadian auto sales on the rise: Audi scores big in January
Wednesday, February 03, 2010
A sign of better economic times, or just killer deals? Whatever the reason, Canadian vehicle sales in January rose 6.2% over the same period last year, although it's light trucks that are solely responsible for that. The total sales figure of 81,600 is still well below January 2008's sales of 102,800, but it's encouraging nonetheless.

With entry-level vehicle sales up 17.0 percent in August across Canada and the Honda Civic subcompact slipping past the Dodge Caravan minivan into second place on the top-20 chart, it's hard to avoid the idea that maybe consumers were reacting to dramatically-higher gasoline prices, at least a little.

Gone is the dash-mounted flower vase in the latest version of Volkswagen's Bug. Gone too is much of its cutesiness, replaced by a notable degree of sportiness intended to broaden the Beetle's target market by attracting male attention.
