Canadian Sales in August

The hottest brand in the industry is Hyundai, hands down, flat out, without question. Sales for Hyundai were up by 38% over August of last year for a total of 10,418, falling just shy of Honda at 10,574. Who would have thought that Hyundai would be shadowing Honda in sales. Subaru had a strong month that was hampered by a lack of product due to a record sales pace so far this year and a lack of the new Outback and Legacy.
