Not surprisingly, the Dodge Challenger (recently refreshed) and Ford Mustang (all-new for 2015) reported big year-over-year Canadian sales improvements in January 2015.

• Canada Car Sales Rankings By Model - January 2015
Also not surprising, those big YOY improvements didn't translate to lofty numbers, as Canadians typically steer away from rear-wheel-drive, sporting car purchases in the middle of winter.
But BMW managed to sell 222 copies of their 4-Series last month, double the figure they put up one year earlier. The difference? BMW sells a four-door version of the 4-Series now (no, not the 3-Series, but the 4-Series Gran Coupe) and offers all-wheel-drive across much of the range.
As for the Mustang, a V6-engined version of which GCBC is testing this week, expect to see a massive increase in April, May, and June. That second-quarter accounted for 42% of all Canadian Mustang volume in 2014.

These tables are now sortable, so you can rank sports cars, coupes, GTs, roadsters, and convertibles any which way you like. Suggestions on how GCBC should break down segments can be passed on through the Contact page.

GCBC isn't here to break down segments, an impossible task for any group, but to display sales data for the sake of comparison. The more ways sales data can be displayed, the better. This explains why you'll see the Audi A5 here and with luxury cars, because readers have wanted it both ways. You can always find the sales results for EVERY vehicle and form your own competitive sets by using the All Vehicle Rankings posts. Clearly GoodCarBadCar is not suggesting that the cars in the two tables above are all direct competitors. Establishing categories among cars as unique as even the Audi TT and Porsche Boxster has never pleased a single reader, so cars have been lumped together so you can simply see how buyers looking for sports cars, roadsters, hot hatches, convertibles, GTs, and wanna-be sports cars spend their money. Greater categorization of cars would only lead to problems that automakers create by not isolating model-specific sales figures: we don't know how many M3s BMW has sold or how many Civics are Si models, for example. The numbers we do have are listed above. GoodCarBadCar is always open to hearing about the ways you would break down segments, so feel free to get in touch.
