Despite tumbling sales in the United States, sales of the Chrysler 300 were booming in Canada in April 2013. Sales of Chrysler's priciest passenger car plunged 47% in the United States last month and are down 27% through the first quarter. In Canada, 300 sales are up 9% this year - in a market that's grown just 1.4% - and the 300's 69% gains in April brought in 359 extra buyers.
Chrysler Canada did, however, lose 836 200 sales in April. And while the 300's year-over-year gains are impressive, the nameplate accounted for just 0.5% of the new vehicles sold in Canada in April.
We're not talking about the biggest Canadian sales category here, after all. Five different cars outsold this whole eight-car category in April.
As for the class-leading Chevrolet Impala, sales have fallen as expected. The Impala is in a replacement phase. But how will the car fare when Chevrolet begins its attempt to attract a greater percentage of retail customers - rather than emphasizing Budget, Alamo, and Enterprise - who traditionally haven't wanted to pay top dollar for a big Chevrolet? Top-end 2014 Impalas start at $39,645, 15% higher than where the 2013 Impalas topped out. At that price, Chrysler buyers can have an all-wheel-drive Hemi-powered 300C.
April 2013 was the first month in which Kia Canada sold Cadenzas. It's still not featured on the company's Canadian website as anything other than a concept, however.
