July 2012 Top 20 Best-Selling Cars In Canada


2012 Honda Civic Coupe
Honda Canada expanded the year-to-date lead its Civic has over Hyundai's Elantra by 151 units in July 2012. Now losing to the Civic by 6723 units, Hyundai would need the Elantra to outsell the Honda by an average of 1345 units in each of 2012's remaining five months. Not gonna happen.

Canada's best-selling American car in July was the Chevrolet Cruze, sales of which have fallen 10% this year but rose slightly last month. The second-ranked American car, Ford's Focus, is up 11% this year but had a rough year-over-year drop of 530 units.

The Camry ranked fourth among midsize sedans in Canada last month, trailing not just the Fusion but the Hyundai Sonata and Chrysler 200, as well. 22 of the Chrysler 200s sold in July were convertibles.
