Default Best Selling Car in Canada By Province

Very Interesting Results:
http://www.canadiandriver.com/news/060203-2.htm


British Columbia: Ford F-Series pickup
Alberta: Ford F-Series pickup
Saskatchewan: Ford F-Series pickup
Manitoba: Ford F-Series pickup
Ontario: Dodge Caravan
Quebec: Mazda3
New Brunswick: Ford F-Series pickup

I would expect more Japanese cars. I guess population of Canada is dominated by Soccer Moms and Lumber Jack Dads LOL!!

There is no way that the F series truck is the best selling vehicle in Newfoundland. are there any numbers to go with this?

Same here on the West coast

It's weird how the stats say that the F-series truck is best seller here in BC but the last time I saw one was maybe 3 weeks ago.

I guess it's true what 5vz-fe said in the first post, they're all bought by "Lumber Jack Dads" in central BC, lol

Do Renault Citroen and Peugeot do good business in Quebec?

Nope, no Renaults / Citoren / Peugot in Canada. There used to be Alfas but they stop selling.

the results might sound odd to ya'll because you dont really look for F-series trucks, they arent anything special to catch your attention, where as a bmw or other lux. car would...

remember that most people who own businesses involving any type of moving anything buy trucks and that is alot of business, that is why there is fleet leasing, and that is why dealerships survive. Especially in the western, prairie, and eastern provinces where there is so much space and not alot of cosmopolitan areas there are alot of trade professions and they buy trucks and they buy Ford, Chevrolet, and Dodge pickups

In reality the F-series probably is the best selling vehicle for the facts already listed you just don't notice them at all the F series is SOO common that it isn't anything new. How many Pathfinders do you see? I never really noticed them but now I see them all the time same with Acura's I never paid attention to them but now I can spot them a mile away and tell you what year it is.

they used to. like 20 years ago. (sell Renaults / Citoren / Peugot in Canada) but the running costs and reliability where major reasons why they arn't here anymore

and the reason for the high numbers of trucks? well companies/farmers/construction buy them and if more then 1/2 of canada's population is in rural areas (this number is going down) put two and two togeather.

a better pole would be what urban consumers buy, rather then total cars sold
