Like most compacts, the Mazda 3 is more successful (on overall market share terms) in Canada than it is in the United States. Americans only buy 2.4 times more 3s than Canadians do despite the U.S. market being eight times the size. Canadian Mazda 3 sales jumped 38% in September and are up 12.5% this year. Canada's overall new vehicle market is up just 6.7%. Mazda sales are up 7.5%.

News that Cadillac will build the stunning ELR at GM's Hamtramck, Michigan, plant next year causes one to wonder about the Chevrolet Volt's timing. We'll never know, but wouldn't you think the Volt could have been more successful if it had been able to trade on an upper-crust Cadillac coupe's outrageous technology? "Look, honey, we can buy this family hatchback at a Chevrolet dealer. It's just like that crazy looking car you saw in that Cadillac commercial, only practical and way cheaper." Don't husbands talk like that?
It's an impossible hypothetical because, as we're all aware Chevrolet released the Volt first. But surely we all agree that technology should trickle down from GM's top brand rather than trickling up.
Chevrolet Canada had its best Volt sales month in September. 214 were sold or leased to Canadians. Combined sales of the Mitsubishi i MiEV, Nissan LEAF, new-to-market Ford C-Max, and new-to-Canada Prius Plug-In totalled 57 units. By that standard, the Volt was a roaring success in September.
