Top 10 Best-Selling European Cars In Canada - October 2010
Down from the #1 position fell the BMW 3-Series, an interesting fact given the huge rise in Audi A4 sales in October 2010. For context, consider October 2009 sales of the 3-Series (1210) and September 2010 sales of the 3-Series (1631) whilst also considering October 2009 sales of the Audi A4 (381) and September 2010 sales of the A4 (615). Both cars slid a little from September to October - not traditionally the best car-selling month in Canada - but in contrast to last year, Audi Canada's financing deals on the A4 might have been just enough to take a small bite out of the 3-Series in October. Or not.It may be that BMW's 5.5% growth of 3-Series sales in 2010 meant more buyers had already done their shopping. A4 sales in Canada are up 24.8% through the end of October. The Audi A4 Avant was once a member of The Good 12, for the record. Last year, the whole BMW 3-Series family made it into the big show.Of course, all this takes away from the 2011 Volkswagen Jetta's big news. This is something wonderful to write home to Wolfsburg about - Jetta sales jumped 130.1% from October 2009; up an even more impressive 157.7% from September 2010. October will certainly go down as a memorable month for Volkswagen sales reps in Canada. The 2011 VW Jetta is currently Canada's best-selling Japanese car.
