Nevertheless, in the endless saga that is the chase for #1 in Canada, GM was the victor in November. On the year, GM is behind Ford Motor Company by about 22,000. In another oft-watched 2010 battle, Honda is now ahead of Hyundai by 230.
There is very little red in the chart below. Only four out of 24 brands posted lower sales in November 2010 than in November 2009. Then again, November 2009 wasn't the best of times, but it wasn't the worst either.
The Canadian passenger car market posted a 0.4% increase in November 2010. Light trucks, which out-sold passenger cars by about 14,000 units, posted a sales increase of 26.6% increase. GM, Ford, and Chrysler were out-sold by "import" nameplates by 8585. According to Desrosiers, the market was larger in November 2010 than in 2009 or 2008 but smaller than Novembers in 2004, 2005, 2007, and the best of the last eight years, November 2006.

GM's marketing is what it should be in Canada. The new half/lease-half/buy finance arrangement thing(what do they call it?) is a selling point, and the products aren't bad for the most part. This could become the norm.
ReplyDeletealways wondered what these lists would look like if pickup trucks were removed from the numbers as most of these companies don't sell them.
ReplyDeletewish there was a reply function. Would that be fair to the brands that have been smart enough to sell top quality pickup trucks? It's not GM or Ford or Dodges faults that they have a hold on the market. If VW can't or Nissan can't sell trucks here, suck it.
ReplyDeleteJag. Time for improv.
ReplyDeleteToyota, Honda, and Subaru are the top 3 car makers this year.
