Top 20 Worst Selling Vehicles In Canada August 2014
• All Makes & Models Ranked By August 2014 YTD Canadian Sales
In terms of volume alone, the rarity of the Quest was only matched by the Kia K900. Porsche delivered three times as many 918 Spyders as Kia Canada did K900s.
There are other big non-German luxury sedans on the list, too. The K900s Hyundai Equus partner and the Lexus LS attracted only 11 August sales each. One of those LS sedans was a hybrid LS600hL.
You can always select a make and model at GCBCs Sales Stats page to find historical monthly and yearly sales figures from both Canada and the United States. Pertinent links are clickable at the bottom of this post, but you can also find related links at the Best Sellers page.

Top 20 Best Selling SUVs In Canada February 2015
South of the border, Escape sales also declined in a fast-growing market, and the perennial number two (the Honda CR-V is the traditional U.S. leader) dropped to fifth place.
Yet even with fast-rising Toyota RAV4 volume and steadily growing sales of the Honda CR-V and Nissan Rogue, the Escape fended off its February challengers. Through two months - the slowest two months on the Canadian auto sales calendar - the Escape is a scant 39 units ahead of the Toyota.
Canadas leading three-row utility vehicle in February was the 15th-ranked Nissan Pathfinder, sales of which grew 30% to 702, 100 more than the Toyota Highlander achieved. Three vehicles which are available with third-row seating outsold the Pathfinder last month: Rogue, Journey, and Sorento.
No premium brand SUV or crossover cracked the top 20 list in February. The leader among that group was the 24th-ranked Acura RDX (up 16% to 406), just six sales ahead of the Audi Q5 (down 17%) and 27 sales ahead of the Lexus RX (down 16%).
Historical monthly and yearly sales figures for any of these best-selling SUVs and crossovers can always be accessed through the dropdown menu at GCBCs Sales Stats page, and for those not viewing the mobile version of this site, near the top right of this page, as well. GoodCarBadCar has already published the list of Canadas best-selling trucks in February 2015 and will shortly publish a list of Canadas most popular cars.

* Total Santa Fe Sport/Santa Fe XL: up 6.8% to 2007 in February; up 5.5% to 3606 YTD.
Outback? GCBC lists that vehicle with cars, but if youd prefer to think of it as an SUV or crossover it would have ranked 15th in February 2015.

Commercial Van Sales In Canada January 2015

Leading the class in January is also not as difficult a feat as it will be in, for example, May, when last years fifth-month sales were 156% stronger than first-month sales.
The Ram Cargo Van owned less than 8% of total commercial van sales in May of last year, when it ranked sixth overall.
But the commercial van category is in a state of upheaval at the moment. As traditional leader Ford replaces its E-Series with the Transit - the best seller in America in January - and General Motors adds a Nissan NV200 copy to its fleet and FCA/Chrysler Group begins marketing the Fiat Doblo as a ProMaster City and sees its Grand Caravan/Town & Country/Cargo Van factory temporarily shut down in Windsor, its difficult to forecast the results from one month down the road, let alone five or six.
You can click any model name in the tables below to find historical monthly and yearly Canadian auto sales data. You can also select a make and model at GCBCs Sales Stats page. These tables are now sortable, so you can rank commercial vans any which way you like. Suggestions on how GCBC should break down segments can be passed on through the Contact page.

Auto News For Thursday March 5 2015 GM Canada Is Discontinuing The Chevrolet Orlando
REVIEW
From the February 2015 edition of Car & Driver magazine, a minivan comparison. "But the biggest bummer of all is that your best option, if you think about it rationally, is to drive a minivan."
INSIDE THE AUTO BUSINESS
We found out GM Canada is discontinuing the Chevrolet Orlando. "Especially abrupt decreases in the fourth-quarter of 2014 were followed up by the nameplates two lowest-volume months ever in January and February 2015."
INSIDE THE COMMERCIAL VAN BUSINESS
INSIDE THE COMMERCIAL VAN BUSINESS
GCBC published an awful lot of February and year-to-date sales figures over the last couple days, all of which you can see under the February 2015 label. But, crazy as it sounds, you should really check out the commercial van story. They’re booming. GCBC was also able to bring Canadian best seller lists to the table much earlier in the month than has typically been the case thanks to assistance from Global Automakers Of Canada.
RECALL
Jaguar-Land Rover is recalling 28 Land Rover Range Rovers, Range Rover Sports, and LR4s for cracking wheel lug nuts.
WATCH
We didn’t go to the Geneva auto show, but evo’s Henry Catchpole did. Oh, the Ferrari 488 GTB. Oh.

Eight members of the top 30 recorded year-over-year decreases last month, although the declines of four of those vehicles (CR-V, Cruze, Santa Fe Sport, CX-5) were relatively minor.
Compared with last Julys version of this list, the Kia Sorento, Nissan Sentra, and Kia Rio have all been knocked off. In their place, the Nissan Versa, Volkswagen Golf, Jeep Cherokee stepped in. Compared with the June 2014 edition, the Golf, Chevrolet Equinox, and Hyundai Sonata are in while the Honda Fit, Sorento, and Sentra are out.
Weve already published July lists for the 20 best-selling cars, 20 best-selling SUVs and crossovers, and complete figures for every pickup truck, links to which youll find above. Throwing all those vehicles into one group results in this list of the 30 best-selling vehicles overall. We end up with four pickup trucks, one minivan, 14 cars, and 11 utility vehicles.
