The end of an abysmal year for automakers is in sight. More to the point for automakers competing in Canada, the end to a tipsy-topsy-turvy year is in sight. With the help of incentives and an economy that didn't tank as badly as the system south of the 49th parallel, some car companies have fared better in 2009 than in 2008.

- Canada Auto Sales By Brand - August 2010
Cash For Clunkers wasn't a major event in Canada in August of 2009. Sales, therefore, weren't artificially elevated. This creates the possibility of increased auto sales volume in August 2010. Compared with August 2009, however, passenger car...
- Canada Auto Sales By Brand - July 2010
*updated August 18/2010* Canada's automobile market made slight gains in July 2010, no thanks to passenger cars. Light trucks, an automotive class featuring vehicles as varied as the Ford Escape and Toyota Tundra, accounted for the majority of Canadian...

*Updated February 9th @ 9:09pm* The collective Canadian automotive Marketplace shot up in the month of February. Granted, February of 2009 was the lowest-selling February in what felt like forever. 'Shooting up' from that point was a given. Still,...

THREE-FOURTHS OF 2009 OVER : CANADA'S BEST-SELLING CAR COMPANIES
The end of an abysmal year for automakers is in sight. More to the point for automakers competing in Canada, the end to a tipsy-topsy-turvy year is in sight. With the help of incentives and an economy that didn't tank as badly as the system south of the 49th parallel, some car companies have fared better in 2009 than in 2008. Numbers are now available for year-to-date totals of 37 automakers in Canada. You might recall that when The Good Car Guy publishes Canada Auto Sales figures at the beginning of each month, General Motors; Ford Motor Company; and Chrysler LLC are not separated by brand. For the purposes of this look at the first three quarters of 2009, every brand - even Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, and Bentley - are listed with their Sales Stats from the first nine months of 2009. The hope is to offer a full run-down of these Numbers in January for the full year to clearly establish Canada's best-selling car, Canada's best-selling luxury car, Canada's best-selling truck, Canada's best-selling minivan, Canada's best-selling SUV, Canada's best-selling luxury SUV, and of course, Canada's best-selling car companies.
