After struggles through much of the middle portion of 2016, auto sales surged in Canada in November 2016 and dipped only slightly in December, causing 2016 calendar year auto sales to cruise 3% beyond 2015's previous record-setting performance. Led by the Ford Motor Company's best year of sales in 27 years, the Canadian auto industry collectively generated 1.95 million new vehicle sales in calendar year 2016.

Ford owned nearly 16% of the market. Together, the old Detroit Three – Ford MoCo with General Motors and FCA – earned 44% of all sales. Passenger car market share slid to just 34% as light truck volume jumped 9% above 2015 levels.
Among volume brands, no auto brands improved their 2016 volume more than the Ford brand, which jumped 10%. With the overarching Ford Motor Company's huge uptick and FCA's sudden downturn, 2015's results with FCA leading the way appears now to be a blip.
