Top 10 Worst-Selling Cars In Canada - December 2011

While Honda was busy making sure the Civic remained Canada's best-selling car in the latter part of 2011, the company's Canadian division forgot about the Fit. Not only was the Civic the cheaper purchase, it was the only possible small Honda purchase. Fit inventory shrunk to nothing, sales shrunk dangerously close to nothing, and the Fit was Canada's worst-selling car in December 2011, at least for those measuring worst seller status by year-over-year percentage decline. 

If not for the Honda Fit's dreadful December, the Mercedes-Benz B-Class would have been Canada's worst-selling vehicle. Sales of the B-Class slid 96% in December. If not for the B-Class and Fit, the Honda Insight would have been Canada's worst-selling car. You're getting the picture: if not for the Fit, B-Class, and Insight, the Porsche Cayman would have been Canada's worst-selling car.

Indeed, if we're measuring car sales by volume alone, the Porsche Cayman was Canada's worst-selling car. Both the Nissan GT-R and Cayman found just one Canadian buyer in December.
