The Ford F-Series' status as the best-selling vehicle in Canada comes as no surprise to any reader who follows, with any level of seriousness, North American auto sales. The F-Series always ends each calendar year as the best-selling vehicle in both the United States and in Canada. F-Series sales slid 1.6% in a market which grew 1.9%. Cause for concern, or just an anomaly? If Chrysler Canada continues to gain market share, it will indeed be cause for concern, as it seems likely that fast-growing Ram sales will continue to eat away at the GM twins and the F-Series.

| The Volkswagen Golf was Canada's 31st-best-selling vehicle in 2011 |
Eleven SUVs/crossovers made it into the top 30. The leader of the group was the Ford Escape, sales of which increased 2.8% in the final year of the first-gen Escape's existence. 14 members of the top 30 are from Detroit brands. There is one German, seven Koreans, and eight Japanese vehicles. If Toyota Canada combined sales figures of the Corolla and Matrix as Toyota USA does, the Corolla would rocket up to fifth spot, but the Corolla wouldn't instantly become Canada's best-selling car.
