Canadians are progressively registering fewer and fewer vehicles, with auto sales having fallen in each of the last four months after surging to a record pace through the first-half of 2016.
But Canadian sales of SUVs and crossovers continues to grow, irrespective of the increasing distaste for passenger cars. In October, Canadian SUV/crossover volume rose 2% as the overall industry slid 5%.

The Honda CR-V, which led all utility vehicles with 4404 sales in October 2016, jumped 21%. That makes October 2016 the seventh consecutive October improvement for Honda Canada's most popular utility.
But the CR-V remains 4128 sales behind the leading Toyota RAV4, which is expected to take over from the Ford Escape as Canada's best-selling SUV/crossover for the first time in 2016.

We know the Ford F-Series will end 2016 as Canada's best-selling pickup and best-selling vehicle line overall. We know the Dodge Grand Caravan will end 2016 as Canada's best-selling minivan. We know the Honda Civic has secured a 19th consecutive victory as Canada's best-selling car. The RAV4's victory is the only one in doubt, but it became less likely with October's results. The RAV4 outsold the Ford Escape by 230 units last month and now leads by 3383 units with two months remaining.
In October and November of last year, the Escape outsold the RAV4 by only 632 units.
Speaking of Ford, the automaker revealed last night the company's first North American-bound subcompact crossover, the unfortunately awkward EcoSport, pictured above. It'll go on sale in 2018.
