Toyota has four of the top ten best-selling cars in Canada in 2007, according to data just released today from Desrosiers Automotive Consultants Inc. of Richmond Hill, Ont. while the North American nameplates placed just three models in the top ten.
Toyota has the Corolla (3), Yaris (4), Camry (6) and Matrix (10) at the top of the charts.
The number one selling-car in Canada is the Honda Civic but sales of that model for the first five months of the year are up just 1.9 per cent compared to the same period last year.
The North American nameplates on the top ten include the Chevrolet Cobalt (5), Pontiac Pursuit/G5 (7), and the Ford Focus (8).
Now when it comes to light trucks, including SUVs, the North Americans rule the roost. The Ford F-Series pickup truck is number one overall in this segment followed by the Dodge Caravan minivan and the GMC Sierra pickup truck. Only one foreign nameplate cracks this category — the Honda CR-V at number 10.
Through May, 361,430 passenger cars have been sold this year in Canada — an increase of just under 2 per cent compared to last year — and 331,985 light trucks and SUVs have been sold, an increase of 9.4 per cent.
