  • Canada’s Top 10 Selling Vehicles So Far in 2011

    Posted on July 25th, 2011 admin No comments

    We’re half way through 2011 so it’s a good time to check in and see which models are most appealing to Canadians so far. Honda’s Civic is holding strong as the number one selling car in Canada, while Ford’s F-150 takes best selling truck and best selling vehicle overall.

    Here’s the complete list:

    1) Ford F-150 – 46,825 units

    2) Ram Pickup – 30,459 units

    3) Dodge Caravan – 29,986 units

    4) Honda Civic – 26,371 units

    5) Hyundai Elantra – 24,283 units

    6) Ford Escape – 23,183 units

    7) GMC Sierra – 22,225 units

    8 ) Chevrolet Silverado – 19,233 units

    9) Toyota Corolla -18,853 units

    10) Chevrolet Cruze – 18,769 units

    No big shockers here. I’m a little surprised that the Ford Focus didn’t make the list considering it’s now a credible contender. But Canadians obviously love their pick-up trucks and compact vehicles. Stay tooned to see where each vehicle places at the end of the year and if there will be any new additions to the list.

    How the mighty have fallen.

    The voluntary recall takes effect immediately and also includes a few older model years as well.

    “Helping ensure the safety of our customers and restoring confidence in Toyota are very important to our company,” said General Manager Bob Carter, playing damage control. “This action is necessary until a remedy is finalized. We’re making every effort to address this situation for our customers as quickly as possible.”
