Chevrolet vs Ford Canada Sales - September 2010
Ford Canada sales were boosted to the tune of 63.3% in September 2010. Chevrolet, on the other hand, was Canada's fifth-best-selling brand in September as sales fell 4.6%. Dangerously close to Chevrolet was Korean brand Hyundai. Hyundai sales jumped 12.1% to 10,406.
Broken down by segment, then, Chevrolet stood little chance of competing with the Blue Oval of Ford Motor Company. The 2011 Ford Fiesta finally caught up and surpassed the Chevrolet Aveo. The Ford Fusion and Ford Escape each lad a walloping on their rivals, the Chevrolet Malibu and Chevrolet Equinox. The 2011 Ford Mustang expanded its lead over the Chevrolet Camaro. Only the deeply discounted Chevrolet Cobalt and relatively low-volume Chevrolet Traverse managed victories. The 2012 Ford Focus and 2011 Chevrolet Cruze make the current Cobalt/Focus comparison fairly pointless.
Chevrolet's true loss, however, isn't seen on the Graph below. Sales of the Chevrolet Silverado in Canada in September 2010 fell 45.6%, a loss of 2600 units.
Canada Auto Sales By Brand - October 2010
The bigger story in October 2010 was Ford Motor Company's increasing sales. Up 8.1% on October 2009's totals, Ford car sales were up 18% and truck sales were up 5%. Of course, Ford is selling the Fiesta this year, a vehicle not on the market last year. But bigger volume is bigger volume, no matter how you shake it.
Canada's best-selling luxury brand in October 2010 appears to have been Germany's BMW. Cadillac and Lincoln haven't reported but are highly unlikely to surpass BMW or second-place Mercedes-Benz. Mercedes-Benz still leads BMW in overall sales for 2010. Luxury brands are bolded in the list below. Any brand suffering a decline is shown with italics. Speaking of the italics overlaying General Motors, it should be noted that, for the four brands remaining in GM's brand portfolio, sales were up 5.8% in October. Thank vehicles like the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze for that, although the heavily discounted 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt might have more to do with it.

The All New 2011 Chevrolet Equinox
When the all-new Chevrolet Equinox was introduced last year, it broke new ground, representing everything the compact crossover was meant to be. It opens up 1803 L (63.7 cu. ft.) of cargo space and sets the pace with a 6.1 L/100 km highway fuel consumption rating that’s better than Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V – even the Ford Escape Hybrid.** The 2010 Equinox captured attention with its expressive design and earned recognition as a Consumers Digest Best Buy‡ and an IIHS Top Safety Pick.† Yes it’s possible to get that much out of a compact crossover – since the introduction of the new Equinox.
