One glance across the surface of Canada's auto sales results from April 2010 reveals a bad month for General Motors. And in a way, it was. I mean, General Motors sold fewer cars in April 2010 than General Motors sold in April 2009. That's bad, right? On the other hand, the four brands General Motors plans to use going forward - Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick, and GMC - posted a 7.6% increase in sales. In fact, the combined total of those four brands would still have General Motors on the podium, at least until sales of Ford Motor Company, Chrysler, and General Motors are broken down brand-by-brand later in the month. Have it whatever way you like, but the vehicles General Motors is trying to sell are actually selling quite well; both in Canada and in the United States.Here are a few more tidbits from the April 2010 edition of Canada Auto Sales results. Hyundai whipped Honda. It's not the first time, but now it's appearing like this could be habitual. Even with a sales surge at Volkswagen, Hyundai's Korean partner, Kia, remained stronger than the gigantic German brand. BMW just barely nudged out Mercedes-Benz to stick the landing as Canada's favourite luxury brand. South of the border, Lexus is almost always the number one luxury automaker.After the jump you can grab all the Numbers from April 2010 in Canada except Jaguar, Land Rover, Porsche, and Suzuki. They'll report soon. Check back later in the month to see Ford split with Lincoln; the Chevy/Caddy/Buick/GMC individual brand stats; and Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep/Ram cut down to size, as well. And there'll be more in-depth analysis of vehicle segments and best sellers than ever before.-----
