Canada’s best-selling car in each of the last 19 years, the Honda Civic, was the best-selling car in April 2017, continuing a streak that has now placed the Civic 5219 sales ahead of the next-best-selling Toyota Corolla heading into the final two-thirds of 2017.

2017 will be the Civic’s 20th consecutive year atop the Canadian passenger car leaderboard unless a sea change results in the Corolla outselling the Civic by 653 sales per month over the remainder of the year, which is all but impossible.
