Chrysler Canada revealed gains of 11%, equal to 2517 extra sales. This was fuelled in no small part by the Ram Pickup's 1002-unit improvement. Jeep sold more Wranglers than in any month in the company's Canadian history. June highs were reported by the aforementioned Ram truck, Chrysler 200 and Town & Country, Dodge Avenger and Journey, and the Jeep Grand Cherokee. For the 14th consecutive month, Volvo Canada sales declined on a year-over-year basis. Porsche sales are up 24% compared with the first six months of 2012, which ended in record-setting fashion. Ford's Ford brand slid 5%, but the F-Series set a June volume record. Hyundai set a June record, not only with its brand but with Canada's best-selling car, the Elantra, and with the Sonata, which reported a 42% increase. General Motors sold nearly 25,000 vehicles, an 1838-unit improvement.
Nissan's influence on the industry's bottom line continued to be negative, as car sales at the Nissan brand plunged 21% in June. At Honda, Accord sales grew 162%, but it didn't sell as frequently as the Fusion, Camry, or Sonata. Mazda 6 sales, meanwhile, plunged 60%. Together, General Motors, Ford MoCo, and the Chrysler Group owned 46.3% of the Canadian auto market in June 2013, up from 45.4% a year ago. Desrosiers says passenger cars accounted for 43.7% of the industry's June sales, way down from 46.6% in June 2012. Overall sales rose 1.3% year-over-year and were 4% better than June 2011, 11% better than June 2010, 24% better than June 2009, and 8% better than June 2008. Ford is the leading manufacturer (and brand) at the halfway point. Jaguar, Cadillac, Acura, and Porsche have reported the biggest year-over-year gains through six months. The worst declines have been reported by Smart, Suzuki, Volvo, Fiat, Lincoln, and Mini. Subtract the Sprinter's sales from Mercedes-Benz, and the brand trailed BMW by 273 units in June rather than leading it by 50. Year-to-date, non-Sprinter Benzes are 124 units back of BMW. Best seller lists for cars, trucks, and SUVs will be added in the coming days.
