December 2012 Canada Auto Sales By Brand

The Rio Has Been A Huge Part Of Kia Canada's
Growth In 2012. Kia Rose 19.5% In 2012.
13,949 of The Brand's Volume Was Rio-Derived.

Early December 2012 Canadian auto sales figures from Chrysler show a mixed bag, not unlike that which we'll likely see when the full slate of manufacturers have reported their year end figures later today. Dodge and Ram produced narrow gains, Jeep slid 12%, Chrysler continued to improve, and Fiat sales jumped 58% compared to last December.

While 2012 year end sales figures are reported in the table below, this post ranks brands by December volume. In order to see brands ranked by 2012 totals, you'll want to check out the 2012 Year End Canada Auto Sales Brand Rankings post. You'll also find 2011 year end totals there.

Ford Motor Company's December 2012 hit was a painful one, but it wasn't a cross-brand issue. The Ranger's disappearance was keenly felt. Yet with Ford's downfall, Toyota's sharp decline, and Chevrolet's slide - in addition to drops at GMC and Nissan - the Canadian automotive market stood little chance at posting a collective improvement in December. In fact, Canada-wide volume fell 5% year-over-year. Sales were down 13% compared with November.

Throughout the day model-by-model breakdowns have been updated and made available through the dropdown menu at GCBC's Sales Stats home. You'll find historical monthly and yearly totals for every brand competing in Canada and the U.S. by using the same dropdown menu. (A handful of brands don't report specific Canadian model-by-model data until next week.)

The U.S. version of this post has already been published. A huge number of Canadian best seller lists will be published in the near future. And Honda sold 6666 Civics in Canada in December. That's weird.

2012 Year End United States Auto Sales Brand Rankings

GCBC has already posted early December 2012 U.S. sales figures for a number of brands, and although those numbers are important, this 2012 Year End U.S. Auto Sales Brand Rankings post is the one that most people will come to see. 

Through the end of November, U.S. auto sales had risen 14%. The jump in December appears to be a little below 10%, so we're looking at, approximately speaking, a 13% jump in U.S. new vehicle sales in 2012. 

December 2012 U.S. Auto Sales Brand Rankings

Much of that increase has been provided by Honda and Toyota, automakers which suffered greatly in 2011. But vehicles like the eminently popular Ford F-Series, the Ford Focus, America's best-selling American-badged car, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, and even the Jeep Wrangler have produced tremendous improvements, as well.

Sans Sprinter, Mercedes-Benz lost the luxury brand war by 7506 sales. BMW had a huge December. Ford was America's most popular brand, although General Motors sells more cars than FoMoCo.

Huge gains were posted by individual brands like Chrysler, Scion, Fiat, and smart. Toyota added 367,995 sales to its total. Declines were rare but notable: Lincoln is in a terrible place, and its crosstown rival, Cadillac, had a rough year but a terrific end to that year. Oh, and Suzuki slid, as well, so far that the brand is now defunct in the United States. GSX-R for the win. And Jaguar, but Jaguar hardly counts. And Mitsubishi. Which is probably the next Suzuki.

Brands are ranked by 2012 twelve month totals. 2012 is over, and more than 14 million new vehicles were sold in the United States. There'll be a market share chart here for you to examine here shortly and best seller lists will be posted soon, too.

December 2012 and 2012 year end U.S. sales figures for every automobile manufacturer competing in the United States were reported throughout the day today, January 3, 2012. Early numbers from Hyundai and the Chrysler Group had us believing in yet another strong December. A year ago, sales rose 9%. Sales rose by more than 8% in December 2012.

While updating this December 2012 post, which includes year end numbers, GoodCarBadCar.net also posted to this 2012 Year End U.S. Auto Sales Brand Rankings post. Yes, the numbers are the same, but brands will be ranked by 2012 twelve-month totals, not by December figures as they are here.
