Commercial Van Sales In Canada January 2015

Out of thin air, the Ram Cargo Van was Canadas best-selling commercial van in January 2015. Not just the best-selling small commercial van, but the best-selling commercial van overall, 90 sales ahead of the second-ranked Ford Transit.

The Ram C/V ranked third in December, sixth in calendar year 2014, and second in January of last year.

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.

Midsize SUV Sales In Canada June 2014 YTD

June 2014 was a dreadful month for General Motors in Canada. Year-over-year, total sales fell 15%. GM was outsold by the Ford Motor Company, the Chrysler Group, and the Hyundai-Kia tandem. In the four previous Junes, GM Canada had averaged 25,276 sales. But in June of this year, only 21,007 GM vehicles were sold.

GMs Lambda platform trio of large, three-row crossovers is a shining example of the June decline. Although Buick Enclave sales were up 7% through the first five months of the year, sales fell 37% in June.

Chevrolet Traverse sales were nearly chopped in half last month. GMC Acadia volume slid 31%. Not to mention the fact that Saturn didnt sell a single Outlook. *Gasp*

Its not as though Canadians werent buying big crossovers in June. Extract the Acadia, Enclave, and Traverse from the equation and sales in their category improved 4%.

We dont know if Canadian consumers have suddenly turned away from GM because of the companys self-inflicted recall crisis. GM wasnt the only automaker to report fewer sales in June 2014 than in June 2013 - Hyundai and Kia sales were down 6%. Nor were the trio of Lambda crossovers the only ones in their class to record losses: sales of the Honda Pilot, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and Hyundai Santa Fe XL decreased as well.

But forgetting the overall GM complex for a moment, consider the plight of dealers. They combined to sell 3700 fewer new vehicles last month than at the same time one year ago, 6876 fewer than in June 2012. True, there are fewer GM dealers competing over the companys Canadian sales than their used to be, but GM is also selling far fewer vehicles since Pontiac, Saturn, Oldsmobile, and Hummer disappeared.

GM Canada sales in 2014 will likely amount to around half the total GM achieved in 2005. Moreover, at this moment the dealers are selling fewer copies of their more profitable vehicles: these crossovers, for example, and their pickup trucks, sales of which slid 17% in June.

GCBC isnt here to break down segments, an impossible task for any group, but to display sales data for the sake of comparison. The more ways sales data can be displayed, the better. This explains why youll see the Wrangler and Xterra listed with small SUVs, too, and the Subaru Outback shown with mainstream cars... because readers have wanted it both ways.

Sporty Car Sales In America December 2014 Year End

In 2014, for the fifth consecutive year, General Motors sold more Chevrolet Camaros in the United States than Ford sold Mustangs. The gap expanded slightly but remained slim: just 3662 units, up from 3381 units in 2013.

But the Mustang, buoyed by a new generation that became available toward the end of the year, was the dominant muscle car during the latter part of 2014, outselling the Camaro in November and December by wide margins.

But December was a strong month for their segment overall, as the Mustangs 66% year-over-year improvement partnered with the Dodge Challengers 72% leap and the 32% jump in Camaro sales. Dodge needed best-ever December sales for the Challenger to record its sixth consecutive year-over-year year-end improvement in 2014, and demand for the Challenger did indeed reach that level. The trio combined for a 55% improvement last month, equal to 7463 units.

• U.S. Car Sales Rankings By Model - December & 2014 Year End

The Camaro was Americas 26th-best-selling car in calendar year 2014; the Mustang 29th; the Challenger 45th. In December, the Mustang ranked 21st; the Camaro 31st; the Challenger 42nd.

For every 11 Camaros, Mustangs, and Challengers sold in America in 2014, consumers also picked up one 4C, TT, Z4, F-Type, SLK, Boxster, or Cayman. This group of European sports cars combined for a marginal 0.2% improvement in 2014 thanks almost completely to the F-Type. Sales of the soon-to-be-replaced TT slid 44%, the Z4 was down 13%, the SLK slid slightly, and the Boxster/Cayman duo fell 8%.

Subarus Impreza-based WRX/STi lineup outsold Subarus BRZ and its twin, the Scion FR-S, by 3926 units. Lexus sold their first 1922 RCs in the final two months of 2014. Volkswagens Golf-based GTI shot up 30%, year-over-year. BMW reported 555 i8 sales. Viper volume rose to the highest level in six years, yet it wasnt high enough.

But 2014 was the year of the Corvette. 34,839 copies of Chevrolets iconic sports car were sold to Americans last year, the highest total since 2006, more than the number of 4Cs, TTs, Z4s, F-Types, SLKs, Boxsters, Caymans, R8s, ELRs, GT-Rs, 911s, and Vipers combined.

^ BMW USA, not GoodCarBadCar, has chosen to combine sales figures of the 1-Series and 2-Series.
Clearly GoodCarBadCar is not suggesting that the cars in the two tables above are all direct competitors. Establishing categories among cars as unique as even the Audi TT and Porsche Boxster has never pleased a single reader, so cars have been lumped together so you can simply see how buyers looking for sports cars, roadsters, hot hatches, convertibles, GTs, and wanna-be sports cars spend their money. Greater categorization of cars would only lead to problems that automakers create by not isolating model-specific sales figures: we dont know how many M3s BMW has sold or how many Civics are Si models, for example. The numbers we do have are listed above. The BMW 6-Series has been removed from the premium list because we dont use this space as a showcase for sedans (unless automakers release data for high-end sporting models like the Lexus ISF, as Toyota Canada does) and the 6-Series lineup now relies heavily on a sedan variant. GoodCarBadCar is always open to hearing about the ways you would break down segments, so feel free to get in touch. You can always find the sales results for EVERY vehicle and form your own competitive sets by using the All Vehicle Rankings posts. Sales data for brands such as Aston Martin, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Lotus, Rolls-Royce etc. are unfortunately not broken down by model. ANDC estimates say sales for those brands in 2014 were 1224, 2100, 708, 172, and 900, respectively. Tesla, unfortunately, doesnt release model-specific monthly U.S. sales data, but HybridCars.com estimates 1900 December Tesla sales, 16,550 in 2014.
