GM has been the largest car maker in Canada since at least back to 1992,
where my records end. Well, except once in 2009 when Honda was. With
utility production Chrysler has been mostly the biggest with GM
occasionally muscling in. Cars down slightly and Utility vehicles up
gave a modest gain in total.
GM: The Chev Impala was the main contributor to car production. The utility side revolves around both the Chev Equinox and GMC Terrain.

Toyota: An excellent increase for the Corolla, while the RAV4 and Lexus RX both had solid production gains.
Chrysler: Dodge make the Charger, Challenger and Grand Caravan in good numbers. The Chrysler 300 and Town & Country are also major contributors. Quite a commitment from Chrysler and no wonder the company is popular north of the border.
Honda: This is simple, the Civic car and CR-V utility.
Ford: The Edge utility is the main volume model, with a few Flex and Lincoln MKT/MKX models.
