Canada's new vehicle market was dragged down by big import brands like Toyota, Hyundai, Honda, and Nissan. As the Chrysler Group, Ford Motor Company, and Chevrolet reported 2%, 5%, and 3% improvements.
Predictably, Canada's new vehicle market was stronger in February than in January - it always is. In 2012, however, the Canadian market grew 9.5% from January's 97.5K sales to February's 106.7K sales. Not only was January 2013 weaker than January 2012, February volume was only 8.2% stronger than January volume.
Sales of non-GM/FoMoCo/Chrysler brands fell 7% in February 2013. The Detroit trio (including Fiat) produced a collective 2% improvement. Of course, the desire Canadians have for trucks - and the ability Ford, Ram, and GM have to provide buyers with trucks - help with this. 46% of Ford's Canadian volume came from the F-Series, which continues to sell more and more often. Just like Porsche, which continues to improve on a record 2012.
All Vehicles Ranked By February 2013 & YTD Canadian Sales
Suzuki Canada is starting to look more and more like its now-defunct U.S. counterpart. No brand reported a worse year-over-year decline in February. Aside from low-volume Jaguar, Chrysler was the most improved brand, rising 35%. Jaguar nearly doubled sales from very little to a little bit more than very little.
Premium brand victory was captured by BMW-beating Mercedes-Benz. We'll wait and see if the Sprinter commercial van made that possible, or if it offered nothing more than an un-needed boost.

Meanwhile, the U.S. version of this list showed some settling but general positivity.
