Over the last couple of years, May has been a big month for the Chrysler 300. Likewise, more 300s were sold in May 2014 than in any month since May 2013, bit not nearly as many as were sold in May 2013. 

Sales of the Chevrolet Impala, Dodge Charger, Ford Taurus, Kia Cadenza, Nissan Maxima, and Toyota Avalon also declined last month, and in most cases quite severely.

These nine cars only accounted for 3.3% of the new cars sold in Canada in May 2014, down from 4.3% in May 2013.

* Genesis refers only to the sedan, not the coupe. For Canadian purposes - Hyundai USA doesn't yet breakdown sales figures for the sedan and much less costly coupe - the Genesis will now be shown with both these volume brands, with which Hyundai is a direct competitor, and midsize luxury cars, with which the Genesis competes.
GCBC isn't here to break down segments, an impossible task for any group, but to display sales data for the sake of comparison. The more ways sales data can be displayed, the better, right? You can always find the sales results for EVERY vehicle and form your own competitive sets by using the All Vehicle Rankings posts.
