Large Car Sales In Canada - January 2014
On four occasions in the last two years, GM Canada as sold more than 1000 Impalas in a single month. Now, we all remember that the new Impala isn't chasing fleet sales. But we also know that it's a really nice car with extremely positive reviews from every corner of the North American auto press.
Yet GM Canada sold just 74 Impalas in January 2014, a 37% drop from the 117 sold in January 2013, an 85% drop from the 500 sold in January 2012, an 87% drop from the 572 sold in January 2011, and a 94% drop from the 1251 Impalas sold in January 2010. Combined with its Buick LaCrosse stablemate, the two GM big cars attracted just 100 buyers last month. • All 248 Vehicle Ranked By January 2014 U.S. Sales
