46.5% of the new vehicles sold in Canada in May 2012 were automobiles produced by the Ford Motor Company, the Chrysler Group, and General Motors. Year-over-year sales volume at Ford Canada, Chrysler Canada, and GM Canada rose 27%, 7%, and 1%, respectively. FoMoCo's Blue Oval brand outsold Honda, Hyundai, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Land Rover, and Jaguar combined.
Compared with April, Ford's market share rose more than three percentage points from 15.3% to 18.4%. GM was mostly steady. Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep/Ram/Fiat increased its share of the Canadian market from 14.8% to 15.5%. Through five months, Ford Canada is now more than 5000 sales ahead of Chrysler Canada. 35% of the Ford brand vehicles sold in May were F-Series trucks.
Still in contrast with April 2012's results, Toyota lost a bit of ground, as did Hyundai-Kia, Honda, and Volkswagen. Nissan Canada moved up from 4.4% to 5.2%. Mazda slid from 4.5% to 4%. Don't take this to mean that volume losses were commonplace. Year-over-year sales declines were only reported by Chevrolet, Dodge, Jeep, Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Cadillac, and Suzuki.
