Canadian Press

TORONTO — Automakers in Canada had their best October ever, pushing industry sales up nearly seven per cent from a year ago and putting sales on track for what could be a record year.

Overall vehicle sales in Canada rose 7.8 per cent year-over-year last month to 135,476, com-pared with 125,680 in October 2011, according to DesRosiers Automotive Consultants.

“Indeed, this is the best October ever, beating the previous record from 2002 when sales climbed to 134,694 units,’’ Dennis DesRosiers said in a commentary.

“This positive performance pushed the (sea-sonally-adjusted annual rate) up to 1.78 million units, setting up Canada to see as many as 1.7 million units sold on a full-year basis.’’

DesRosiers notes that sales have only broken the 1.7 million mark in one other year, 2002, when about 25,000 of those vehicles were sold to Americans buying because of favourable exchange rates.

“If you take these export volumes into account, 2012 could be the best year ever,’’ he said.

Gas prices have been a key concern for cost-conscious buyers and that’s helped push growth in the smaller, more fuel-efficient car category higher than in the truck segment.

Car sales were up 16.3 per cent in October, while truck sales grew at a slower 1.7 per cent pace. For the year, car sales were up 10.1 per cent, compared to 4.1 per cent for trucks. Still, more trucks have been sold than cars so far this year and truck sales comprise 54.4 per cent of the mar-ket.

Ford Canada claimed the title of Canada’s top-selling automaker for the month and for the year so far, taking about 17 per cent of the market share year-to-date.

The Canadian division of the U.S. automaker said Thursday its overall sales grew seven per cent to 20,565 vehicles from 19,190 in October 2011, largely driven by a 17 per cent jump in car sales.

Truck sales were also up, with a five per cent increase over last October.

Among Ford’s best-selling vehicles were the Focus, which marked its best October since 2004 with sales up 50 per cent, and the sporty Mustang, which saw sales more than double.

“The auto industry is a key engine driving the Canadian economy and it is showing strong, sus-tainable growth,’’ said Dianne Craig, president and CEO, Ford of Canada.

“Fuel economy continues to be a key purchase consideration for consumers and we are offering them the power of choice with the EcoBoost engines, hybrid vehicles and plug-in hybrids,’’ she said.

Since January, Ford’s sales are up just slightly, 0.5 per cent over last year’s sales to date.

Meanwhile, rival Chrysler Canada said sales increased 2.7 per cent in its best October since 2002, also marking its 35th consecutive month of year-over-year sales growth.

Chrysler said vehicle sales totalled 17,504 last month, up from 17,049 in October 2011.

From Page 2Increases in passen-

ger car sales drove the growth, up 15 per cent, whereas truck sales rose less than one per cent.

“Chrysler Canada has experienced tre-mendous passenger car sales growth through-out 2012,’’ said chief operating officer Dave Buckingham.

M e a n w h i l e , DesRosiers reports that sales at General Motors fell 4.6 per cent to 18,651 vehicles sold, leaving it the only one of the big U.S. auto-makers with slower sales this year. Still, it managed to squeeze out Chrysler as the number two player in the month, though Chrysler still claims that spot on a year-to-date basis.

Meanwhile, foreign nameplates continue to gain traction against the Detroit players and now hold about 55 per cent of market share.

Sales at Japanese automakers ramped up as they continue to ben-efit from a return to full inventory after months of playing catch-up fol-lowing the earthquake and tsunami last year.

Toyota Canada said preliminary estimates indicate sales jumped 11 per cent from last October and sales of its luxury Lexus vehicles were up 23 per cent.

And Honda Canada Inc. has reported a 20 per cent increase in vehicle sales in October compared with a year ago, led by a 28 per cent increase in its Acura luxury division.

The Honda division reported October sales of 11,590 units, up 19 per from last year, while the Acura divi-sion saw sales increase to 1,887 units.

DesRosiers pointed out that 13 automakers saw double digit increases last month with some of the big-

gest growth coming at Kia, which was up 24.1 per cent, Subaru, 31.2 per cent higher, Suzuki, up 25.3 per cent and Volkswagen, where sales grew 24.8 per cent.

Most luxury auto-makers did well last month, with Porsche sales up 116.7 per cent, Audi sales growing 37.6 per cent and BMW sales up 14 per cent.

Some exceptions to the overall positive sales momentum aside from GM included Volvo, down 32.2 per cent, Mercedes Benz, off 9.2 per cent, Mazda, 5.6 per cent lower and Jaguar, which saw sales fall 28.3 per cent, according to

DesRosiers.In the U.S., most

major automakers reported sales increas-es in October despite some losing at least three days of business to the punishing rain and wind from super-storm Sandy.

Toyota said its sales rose almost 16 per cent for the month, while Volkswagen reported another strong month with sales up 22 per cent. Honda sales slowed from double-digit growth earlier in the year to 8.8 per cent, while Chrysler sales rose 10 per cent, General Motors was up five per cent and Ford rose slightly.

Millions of people die each year due to alcohol- and drug-related motor vehicle acci-dents. Many people simply do not realize how much alcohol and drugs affect one’s ability to operate a motor vehicle. Many more may mistakenly feel they won’t be among the many people who cause inju-ries to themselves or others when operating a vehicle in an impaired state. Drugs, whether they are illegal or legal, can impair a person’s motor skills, leading to acci-dents.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says almost 30 people in the United States die each day in motor vehicle crashes that involve

an alcohol-impaired driver. That equates to 1 death every 48 minutes. Many other acci-dents and fatalities can be traced back to other substanc-es, whether legal or illegal. Using drugs such as marijua-na and cocaine can be linked to roughly 20 percent of motor vehicle driver deaths in the United States. Compounding the problem is that these drugs are often used in con-junction with alcohol.

MADD Canada estimates that a minimum of 1,074 fatal-ities in 2009 could be attribut-ed to impairment-related driving in that country. Moreover, it is also estimated that 63,338 were injured in alcohol- and drug-related crashes the same year.

What is BAC?BAC, or blood-alcohol con-

centration, measures the amount of milligrams of alco-hol that is in 100 milliliters of blood. Each drink a person consumes increases his or her BAC.

The legal BAC varies all over the world. Some coun-tries have a zero-tolerance policy, while in Canada and much of the United States the legal limit is .08 percent. That means anything more than 80 milligrams of alcohol is pun-ishable.

But a person can still suffer side effects of alcohol con-sumption if their BAC is below the legal limit.

From Page 3Between .03 and .06 a per-

son may experience mild euphoria, trouble concen-trating, a relaxed feeling, talkativeness and decreased inhibition. Between .06 and .08, feelings may be dulled, peripheral vision can decrease, and drivers may have poorer depth percep-tion and struggle to recover from glare.

Drugs that impair drivingUsing drugs can also make

it hard to safely operate a motor vehicle. Many drugs can affect the body in ways that make it dangerous to

drive.A person may not think

they are driving under the influence after taking a cold or allergy pill. However, many of these pills can impair driving ability because they tend to cause drowsiness.

Drugs that act on the brain, such as psychoactive drugs, antidepressants, sleeping medications, and anti-anxi-ety drugs, can impair reac-tion time, judgment and motor skills. Most medica-tions that can prove danger-ous while driving will carry a warning label that advises against driving or operating

heavy machinery.Illegal drugs have their

own share of negative effects. Research indicates that marijuana is one of the most prevalent illegal drugs detected in individuals fatal-ly injured in driving acci-dents. The Emergency Medical Services Authority says marijuana can cause reduced concentration, diffi-culty perceiving time and distance, poor speed control, inability to read signs, drowsiness, and distraction.

Cocaine can mask fatigue and impair a person’s ability to concentrate. Impulsive behaviors can lead to risk-

taking. Some research sug-gests that antagonistic effects can be produced when cocaine is mixed with alco-hol.

The EMSA says the use of amphetamines can interfere with concentration, impair vision and increase the driv-er’s willingness to take risks.

It is better to err on the side of caution and avoid the use of any drugs or alcohol if you plan to be driving. No one wants to cope with the emotional, financial and legal ramifications that can occur should an accident leading to injury or fatality occur.

Drugs and alcohol are often to blame in vehicular accidents resulting in injuries and fatalities.

SASKATOON _ Car thieves who don’t let plate-glass win-dows get in their way are being sought after a series of auto dealership thefts in Saskatchewan that may be linked.

Police in Saskatoon say three cars were stolen from a dealer in the city sometime after closing Tuesday and early Wednesday morning.

Investigators say the crimi-nals removed a pane of win-dow glass to get inside the

business and steal the keys to the autos.

The theft was not discov-ered until employees arrived for work and realized the vehicles were missing.

Another Saskatoon dealer-ship was hit by a similar theft

earlier in the month, as were businesses in the towns of Wilkie and Rosetown.

Alyson Edwards, with the Saskatoon police, says they’re working with the RCMP to determine whether the thefts are connected.

Thieves use extraordinary means to steal cars from Saskatchewan auto dealers
