Predictably, defunct and cancelled new vehicle nameplates led the list of Canada's worst-selling vehicles in September 2014.
• Canada Vehicle Sales Rankings By Model - September 2014 YTD
The Dodge Avenger, Nissan Quest, and Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG have either met the end of their run or will do so shortly. Likewise, the Acura TL and Subaru Tribeca - Canada's fifth and seventh-worst-selling vehicles when measured by year-over-year decline - have been put out to pasture.
Measured by total volume, eight different vehicles generated less volume than the Avenger in September, including high-end sedans from Hyundai (down 50% to four sales) and the Equus's partner from Kia, the K900.
