| Click Chart To Expand |
The Dodge Challenger was more than twice as popular as the Camaro.
You think Audis 58 A5 sales was an impressive total for an aging model with a bevy of newer alternatives? BMW sold 417 copies of the 4-Series.
Whats a 4-Series? Its a two-door version of the 3-Series, Canadas most popular premium brand car, and its also available as a convertible and as a four-door hatchback. Just like the, er, 3-Series.
And Hondas $22,890 CR-Z sold precisely twice as often as the USD $845,000 Porsche 918 Spyder in Canada in February.
You can click any model name in the tables below to find historical monthly and yearly Canadian auto sales data. You can also select a make and model at GCBCs Sales Stats page. These tables are now sortable, so you can rank sports cars, coupes, GTs, roadsters, and convertibles any which way you like. Suggestions on how GCBC should break down segments can be passed on through the Contact page.

^ Mini sales include everything except the Countryman.
* also included in another GCBC segment breakdown
GCBC isnt here to break down segments, an impossible task for any group, but to display sales data for the sake of comparison. The more ways sales data can be displayed, the better. This explains why youll see the Audi A5 here and with luxury cars, because readers have wanted it both ways. You can always find the sales results for EVERY vehicle and form your own competitive sets by using the All Vehicle Rankings posts. Clearly GoodCarBadCar is not suggesting that the cars in the two tables above are all direct competitors. Establishing categories among cars as unique as even the Audi TT and Porsche Boxster has never pleased a single reader, so cars have been lumped together so you can simply see how buyers looking for sports cars, roadsters, hot hatches, convertibles, GTs, and wanna-be sports cars spend their money. Greater categorization of cars would only lead to problems that automakers create by not isolating model-specific sales figures: we dont know how many M3s BMW has sold or how many Civics are Si models, for example. The numbers we do have are listed above. GoodCarBadCar is always open to hearing about the ways you would break down segments, so feel free to get in touch.
