Canadian auto sales up 14.1 percent.




The Great White North saw new cars sales rise for the fourth straight month with Ford edging out Toyota for the top spot.

Quote from the article:
Canadian auto sales rose for a fourth month in March, with Ford (F.N) taking the sales crown and General Motors Co [GM.UL], until recently the market leader, dropping out of the top three.

Canadians bought 145,428 vehicles last month. That's up 14.1 percent from a year earlier, according to data from DesRosiers Automotive Consultants Inc.

"A very good month even by historical standard," said Dennis DesRosiers, president of the firm.

"This puts YTD (year to date) sales up 15 percent and sets Canada on track for a 1.55 to 1.6 million sales year."

Ford sold 22,018 vehicles in March, up 29.1 percent from a year earlier. Car sales rose 19.4 percent and trucks gained 32 percent.



In other news, we had no idea there was over 145,000 Canadians. (j/k,eh. :) )
