Looking back from more than five years later, 2008’s list of Canada’s 10 best-selling cars was notable for two key reasons. The Honda Civic was Canada’s best-selling car for the 11th consecutive year, but that was nothing abnormal.
The Civic was also Canada’s best-selling vehicle overall, and more than 70,000 Civics were sold.
• Top 10 Best-Selling Cars In Canada – 2007 Year End
• Top 10 Best-Selling Cars In Canada – 2009 Year End
• Top 40 Best-Selling Vehicles In Canada – 2008 Year End
The Civic hasn’t topped 70,000 annual sales since, nor has anything but the Ford F-Series been Canada’s top-selling vehicle line.
