Five things I learned from January car sales numbers
The Dart was in Chrysler Canada showrooms for less than half of 2012, with sales coming in at 3,460. December 2012 was a strong month for Dart (849 sold), but January Dart sales slumped to 447. If overall Dart sales in 2013 meet the December 2012 average, then Chrysler Canada can expect to sell 10,000 or more through the end of December 2013. That’s good, but a blip compared to the 64,962 Civics Honda sold in 2012.
