CANADA AUTO SALES BY BRAND - JULY 2010
Special notes regarding July 2010 sales in Canada are written for a special few. Mercedes-Benz's smart division lost 110 sales compared with July 2009. That's saying A LOT when July 2009 sales weren't exactly lighting Canada on fire. Honda and Toyota: what is with you two? Year-to-date, Hyundai is beating Honda by more than 5,000 vehicle sales and Toyota's terrible month brought Hyundai within 2,200 units. If the new Elantra and new Accent were here already Toyota would've lost to Hyundai in July, I dare say. Which leaves Mercedes-Benz as a topic of conversation. Mercedes is Canada's favourite luxury brand this year; was so in July as well; and isn't making gains on the backs of its cheapest vehicles. The S-Class, SL-Class, and SLS AMG are all selling better than anyone would've anticipated at this time last year.
