The GM Authority Take

The decline in cumulative U.S. Canyon sales volume is surprising given the more or less runaway sales performance since the launch of the second-generation Canyon in 2015. As such, we attribute the decline to GMC Sierra sales cutting into Canyon deliveries, as incentives on the full-size Sierra were very lucrative in March, but very limited on the Canyon. We believe that the same circumstance also negatively impacted sales of the Canyon’s brother — the Chevrolet Colorado.

  1. I believe the fact strong sales in the previous months depleted supplies.

    I shopped and bought a Canyon recently and was lucky to find the one I wanted. Most dealers in the mid west are showing 5 or less models. I found a few that has no Canyons.

    Mine was the only one like it in 250 miles and one of 37 in the country when I bought it.

    Right now you either have to order or settle if you are buying for the most part.

    I expect supplies to remain low till August and the 2018 models.

    Production was being changed with the vans and they expect supplies to increase in the coming months.

    Can’t buy a truck if you can’t find the one you want.

    Yes the same will happen to the Colorado.

    Note I did find So Cal dealers have larger supplies but many are white work trucks for some reason.

  3. All the folks that I know that have these (canyon/coloarado) say they will NOT own another one! Just a flawed basic design. Time for GM to start anew.

    1. I have a Canyon and won’t buy another. Too many design flaws.

    2. I own a Canyon and would replace it tomorrow with a new one if needed.

      The mpg is great. And I love the way it rides and drives.

      I do win a sunroof was available but that is it.

      Other than the front spoiler being low there is nothing wrong with these trucks and most reviews put them as best in class.

      There are no perfect truck I can give you flaws on all of them.w

  4. Just bought a 2017 Canyon and think it is super. Looked for quite a while to find a dealer with an extended cab and not a crew cab. Not many of these trucks out there. I have owned a Dodge Dakota, Chevrolet Colorado, Ford Ranger, Toyota Tacoma and now a GMC Canyon. All these trucks have been extended cabs. I can truly say I like the ride of the Canyon second to none so far and then I would say the Toyota Tacoma. These are only my opinion and I do not want to cause insult to any make or model.
