When it comes to 2019 sales numbers, these 10 cars are not having a great time so far, reports drivingdotca:
It’s not easy backing up a record-setting performance with yet another best-ever achievement. But that’s exactly what Canada’s auto industry did for five consecutive years beginning in 2013.
Auto sales have fallen in each of the first two months of 2019, sliding by more than four per cent through January and February. To be fair, the market remains strong by historical standards, but that strength is derived largely in part by somewhat artificial means: Long-term loans, the consistent rollover of “negative equity”, low interest rates, and layers of incentives.
Yet on the list of the 10 worst starts for individual vehicle nameplates in 2019, there are actually only three cars. We’ve excluded low-volume vehicles by looking only at nameplates that earned at least 1,000 sales in the first two months of last year. We also left out any vehicles that already have a pink slip — the discontinued Chevrolet Cruze, for example, tumbled 69 per cent to only 1,310 units in early 2019, a sharper decline than any of the drops listed here.
