As Canada's overall new vehicle market approaches a second consecutive year of record sales, the Escape and its utility vehicle cohorts deserve much of the credit. Pickup truck sales growth is significantly slower than the growth achieved by the overall industry.
Minivan sales are up 5.8% this year, but after producing 12% of the industry's volume in 2004, minivans are now responsible for just 5.3% of all new vehicle sales in Canada. Car sales, meanwhile, are down this year.
