Canada Car/Light Truck Sales By Nameplate : 2005-09

Nearly 37,000 Ford Escape SUVs found homes in Canada in 2009

Nothing moves that quickly in the Canadian car market but trends are there to be found. For example Ford fell badly from 2000 to 2015, then came back as can be seen here. Toyota had a steady increase throughout the decade to come in second. Chevrolet climbed out of a slump from 2003 to 2005, but then slip badly down to 2009. In fact, when combining all of GM's brands for this decade it transpires that market share fell from 30.3% to 17.2%!

Looking down the list, you will see brands on the move one way or another. Acura was the best selling premium brand in 2005 but a poor run saw BMW and Mercedes pass it and Lexus breathing down its neck. Volvo had an even worse time of it, going from 15th to 20th ranked nameplate. A few gaps at the bottom reflects lack of data for RR and Lambo marques.
