Canadian new-vehicle sales had a jack-rabbit start to 2023. The question is whether they can sustain the torrid pace from which they left the starting line.
Automakers sold an estimated 98,259 vehicles in January, according to DesRosiers Automotive Consultants . That’s up 7.5 per cent from the 91,411 units sold in the same month last year. It’s also the second consecutive January in which automakers sold more than 90,000 new vehicles and increased year-over-year sales.January 2022 had the strongest seasonally adjusted annual rate of sales of that year at 1.67 million. January 2023 was even better, at 1.79 million.

But that would take an economic hiccup.HIGH INTEREST, HIGH DEMAND“Right now, people are still buying things, even with the higher interest rates,” Fiorani said. “Unemployment rates are still low. We’re not in the position where people aren’t consuming these vehicles, yet. If that were to change, we could be in an overbuild situation.
