Mazda's Handsome But Underpowered CX-5
Was One Of Canada's 30 Best-Selling Vehicles

38% of the Fords sold in Canada in November 2012 were F-Series pickup trucks. The F-Series is long since on its way to its best sales year ever, and therefore the best sales year ever for any vehicle ever marketed in Canada. By now, over 100,000 F-Series trucks have been sold, and there remains a dozen days to buy a new vehicle.

Sales of Canada's best-selling car tumbled in November but remain far above last year's pace. The Honda Civic's November drop had no impact on its lead over the next-best-selling Hyundai Elantra. In fact, the Civic's year-to-date lead grew by 954 to more than 10,000 units.
