It's little surprise to us that the Honda Civic was the top passenger car sold in Canada during 2004, and the Ford F-Series was the top light truck. It is noteworthy, says Dennis DesRosiers of DesRosiers Automotive Consultants Inc., Richmond Hill, Ont., that six Japanese cars are in the Top 10 but only one Japanese light truck makes the truck list. Also, entry-level compact cars make up the majority of the top 10 car list.</div> <div> <table border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="1" width="132" bordercolorlight="#0000BF" bordercolordark="#808080" frame="BOX" rules="ALL" align="RIGHT" hspace="0" vspace="0"> <tr> <td valign="TOP" height="616" width="126"><br> <script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script> </td> </tr> </table></div> <br> <div> <b>Top 10 Best Selling Passenger Cars in 2004 in Canada</b></div> <br> <div> 1 Honda Civic Sedan/Coupe 61,041</div> <div> 2 Toyota Corolla 44,563</div> <div> 3 Mazda3 42,680</div> <div> 4 Pontiac Sunfire 33,724</div> <div> 5 Toyota Echo 31,252</div> <div> 6 Chevrolet Cavalier 29,229</div> <div> 7 Ford Focus 28,391</div> <div> 8 Honda Accord 25,814</div> <div> 9 Chevrolet Impala 20,876</div> <div> 10 Toyota Camry 20,135</div> <div> <i>Total number of Passenger Cars sold in 2004: 820,098</i></div> <br> <div> <b>Top 10 Best Selling Light Trucks in 2004 in Canada</b></div> <br> <div> 1 Ford F-Series 71,754</div> <div> 2 Dodge Caravan 63,559</div> <div> 3 GMC Sierra 39,391</div> <div> 4 Chevrolet Silverado 38,005</div> <div> 5 Dodge Ram Pickup 37,709</div> <div> 6 Pontiac Montana 27,730</div> <div> 7 Ford Freestar 21,733</div> <div> 8 Chevrolet Venture 21,376</div> <div> 9 Ford Escape 20,317</div> <div> 10 Toyota Sienna 17,043</div> <div> <i>Total number of Light Trucks sold in 2004:  714,279</i></div> <br> <div> <b>Segment breakdown</b></div> <br> <div> 1.
