Only 511 jumbo truck sport-utilities were sold to Canadian new vehicle buyers in August 2011. The same eight nameplates found 1104 buyers in August 2010. Much of that decrease comes from the GMC Yukon, sales of which fell 86% (enough to be on yesterday's Worst Sellers list) from 552 to 78.
That said, every other vehicle on the list except the Nissan Armada and Toyota Sequoia suffered from year-over-year declines, as well. And the increases reported by the two Japanese-badged sport-utes amounted to only 18 units.

Mitsubishi began selling the RVR in Canada last September. Because there were only 13 sold in the ninth month of 2010, Mitsubishi's 646-unit sales performance last month brought about a seemingly amazing 4869% year-over-year increase. RVR sales were...

Canada's new vehicle market is up 2% this year. August 2011 was 3% better than August 2010. BMW is up 11% through the first eight months of this year and 4% in August. Without the new X1, BMW Canada would be up just 2.2% and down 8.4% in August. ...

The 1-Series M hasn't created the halo effect one would expect from a model so well-received by critics. While I didn't expect to find BMW 1-Series sales rising on the back of a high-powered, steroid-infused M car which costs 49% more than...

The Ford Escape isn't just Canada's best-selling small sport-utility vehicle or Canada's best-selling overall SUV. It was also Canada's fifth-best-selling vehicle of any type in July. However, Escape sales were down 6.1% in July 2011....

Ford watched the Escape post a year-over-year 12% sales drop in August, but the Escape - particularly with its Mazda Tribute platform-mate - remained the easiest ticket to large sales volume. 2989 Escape sales and 392 Tribute sales made the duo Canada's...

There are plenty of very big "midsize" SUVs and crossovers which take up an awful lot of space on the road. GM's Lambda platform crossovers combined for 1542 sales last month. Together, the three beat the two-row Ford Edge, although Ford found 780 additional Explorer customers (up 130%) and 212 Flex clients (down 35%).
Consider the new Dodge Durango, an SUV which surely seems more than big when it appears on the rearview mirror of your Yaris. The Durango hasn't really taken off in Canada, but its partner, the Jeep Grand Cherokee, helped the platform find 913 sales for Chrysler Canada in August. Quite clearly, that pair roundly out-performs all jumbo SUVs combined.
Finally we find the truly popular utility vehicles, the smallest bunch. Some of these feature three rows or stretchier overall length, the kinds of things that could see them moved into the midsize SUV sales chart above. Based on MSRPs, however, the vehicles in the chart below are direct rivals in a segment that's still growing by leaps and bounds.
Canada's new vehicle market improved at a 3.2% rate in August 2011, as compared with August of a year prior. Sales of the vehicles below rose 28.9% from August of last year to August of this year. Their portion of the overall market jumped from 15.5% to 19.4%. While it's true that there are a handful of additional models, even without those models (Countryman, RVR, Juke) the small SUV market increased by 5234 sales.
That 5000+ unit increase is greater than the overall new vehicle market's 4305-unit bump. And it occurred despite Toyota RAV4 sales which slid 40%, Volkswagen Tiguan sales which slid 35%, and Suzuki Grand Vitara sales which were down 60%.
