Year-to-date, Challenger sales have more than doubled through the first-half of 2015. The Mustang, meanwhile, Canada’s most popular two-door car, was up 56% to 972 units in June specifically; up 37% to 4266 units in 2015’s first six months.

June was also an especially strong month for the BMW 2-Series, following up on the large year-over-year increases reported by the small BMW in each of the previous three months.

The 2-Series 119% improvement translated to 193 June sales, significantly more Canadian sales than the more affordable Scion FR-S managed; more than the Hyundai Genesis Coupe, Infiniti Q60, and Lexus RC combined.

GCBC isn’t here to break down segments, an impossible task for any group, but to display sales data for the sake of comparison. The more ways sales data can be displayed, the better. This explains why you’ll see the Audi A5 here and with luxury cars, because readers have wanted it both ways. You can always find the sales results for EVERY vehicle and form your own competitive sets by using the All Vehicle Rankings posts. Clearly GoodCarBadCar is not suggesting that the cars in the tables above are all direct competitors. Establishing categories among cars as unique as even the Audi TT and Porsche Boxster has never pleased a single reader, so cars have been lumped together so you can simply see how buyers looking for sports cars, roadsters, hot hatches, convertibles, GTs, and wanna-be sports cars spend their money. Greater categorization of cars would only lead to problems that automakers create by not isolating model-specific sales figures: we don’t know how many M3s BMW has sold or how many Civics are Si models, for example. The numbers we do have are listed above. GoodCarBadCar is always open to hearing about the ways you would break down segments, so feel free to get in touch.
