Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, and Cadillac dealers delivered 21,790 vehicles in Canada during March 2014, an increase of 7.8 percent on a year-over-year basis. What might be even more noteworthy is that each of the four GM brands posted a double-digit growth in retail sales.

2 ELRs sold. Things are looking up!
In more relevant cars, glad to see the ATS is up (as opposed to U.S.). Wonder why that is -- is it priced lower (relatively-speaking) in Canada?
There's a lot more to just pure demand for a vehicle that's the result of a decline in ATS sales in the U.S.
BMW is playing an incentives game in the U.S., where it is pretty much giving the 320i away. Cadillac isn't matching the incentives... hence sales are down because the ATS is more expensive to lease and finance.
