The category’s top sellers from Canada’s top-selling manufacturer, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, lost more than half their February volume. Dodge Charger sales fell 56%; Chrysler 300 volume was down 54%.

True, overall Canadian passenger car volume is falling, as well. But the 4% loss across the passenger car sector is downright healthy compared with the nosedive achieved by large cars.

* Genesis refers only to the sedan, not the coupe. For Canadian purposes – Hyundai USA doesn’t yet breakdown sales figures for the sedan and much less costly coupe – the Genesis will now be shown with both these volume brands, with which Hyundai is a direct competitor, and midsize luxury cars, with which the Genesis competes.
