Our Take Brand & Corporation Rankings
Canadian auto sales fell sharply in September, with the top-nine automakers in terms of volume for the month all posting steep declines.
Subaru, BMW-Mini, Tesla and Volvo were the only four at manufacturer level to post year-on-year gains.
Uncertainty amidst consumers over north American trade deal negotiations was thought to be behind the drop, and some US brands saw steeper declines than rivals from Europe or Japan, though many of these saw sales drop as well.
