Large Car Sales In Canada - May 2016 YTD

Canadians haven't wanted big, volume brand sedans for a long time. But Canadians want big, volume brand sedans a lot less now than they used to.

In May 2016, for instance, nine upmarket volume brand sedans combined to produce 21% fewer Canadian sales than in May 2015. And yet that 21% drop translates to only 523 lost sales because there were hardly any Canadians buying these cars to begin with last May.

Nissan's Maxima is the big mover and shaker, rising 2200% from what was basically a between-generations hiatus at this point a year ago. But four rivals – including a trio of Canadian-built cars – outsold the Maxima in May. 

The sharpest declines through the first five months of 2016 belong to the Toyota Avalon, down 38%, and the Dodge Charger, down 29% this year.
