Cars
This list of the 30 best-selling cars in Canada in May 2012 includes three subcompacts (all of which are roomy like a compact), four pickup trucks, one minivan, five midsize cars, nine so-called compacts (some of which are roomy like midsizers), and eight SUVs and crossovers.
The Ford F-Series and its 19 closest followers accounted for 47.1% of the market. That's down from 47.5% a month ago. The second-ranked Ram pickup is now 2343 sales ahead of the Honda Civic in the race to be the second-best-selling vehicle in Canada. There is no chance any vehicle other than the Ford F-Series will end 2012 as the best-selling vehicle overall, just as there was no chance in 2011.
Just missing out on this month's top 30 were the Nissan Versa, Ford Taurus, Hyundai Sonata, Nissan Rogue, Hyundai Tucson, and Mazda CX-5. The second-ranked minivan was the Toyota Sienna, 1296 of which found buyers in May. For every Sienna sold so far this year, nearly five Dodge Grand Caravans have been sold.
Half of the vehicles on this top 30 best sellers list wear the badges of domestic U.S. brands. (May sales results had 16 domestics in the U.S. top 30.) But while those same domestics, including the Fiat 500, took 46% of the Canadian new vehicle market in May, the same brands accounted for 45.8% of the U.S. market during the same period. Yes, Canadians support Detroit with slightly greater fervour.
