The Toyota Camry sold about once for every five Civics but it was January's leader among mainstream midsize cars in Canada. 164 of the 1007 Camrys sold were hybrids. For every 6.5 Prius V sales, there was one regular Prius sold. Kia and Hyundai want to be treated separately, and that's fair, but if you put the Sonata and Optima together, the corporation had 1137 midsize sales off the same platform. That's winning material. Granted, Toyota sold 791 Venzas, so you could tell Hyundai/Kia to add those to the Camry's pipe and smoke it.
Large cars are often ignored in Canada, but there were a few that performed especially well in January. The Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300 were up 316% and 260%, respectively, with a combined sales total of 1127. The Ford Taurus and Buick LaCrosse? To put it simply, they were way less popular. To be honest, fleet sales play a huge role in this category and assigning desirability quotients to these sales figures would be a pointless exercise.
