Record March sales for the Ford F-Series, Canada's best-selling line of vehicles, along with surges from GM's pickups, huge upticks from some of Canada's most popular cars, and high-flying SUV/crossover sales propelled the industry to the best March results ever.
Not everyone got in on the fun. Year-over-year, Ram P/U sales slumped 6% in March 2017. The Hyundai Elantra, Canada's fourth-best-selling vehicle in March 2016 but only the 12th-ranked vehicle in March 2017, fell 35%.
But of the 30 most popular vehicles in Canada in March, 22 sold more often in 2017 than in the same period of 2016.
