The top-selling Honda Civic and second-ranked Hyundai Elantra, both of which are all-new this year, earned 34% of their category in June 2016, up from 28% at this point one year ago.

Aside from the discontinued Buick Verano's jump, the low-volume Mitsubishi Lancer's improvement, the Nissan Sentra's 8% uptick, and the Volkswagen Golf's unexpected 4% rise, most competitors are falling hard and fast.

The Detroit trio – Cruze, Dart, Focus – combined for a 30% loss in the first-half of 2016. The Mazda 3, once the prime candidate to become the Honda Civic's successor as Canada's best-selling car, is down 24%. The aging Volkswagen Jetta tumbled 29% in 2016's first six months and is on track to end 2016 as the second-best-selling Volkswagen in Canada for the first time since 2010.

The Civic now leads the Toyota Corolla by 7647 units heading into the second-half of 2016. At this stage one year ago, the Civic was nearly 32,000 sales behind the Toyota. Only one car, Toyota's larger Camry, has outsold the Civic so far this year.

Among subcompact cars, the gains of another Nissan stand out. The more affordable Versa is on track for a seventh consecutive year of record U.S. sales. Combined, its two closest rivals – Accent and Sonic – don't sell as often as the Nissan.
