Volvo announces July sales results
TORONTO (August 1, 2008) - Volvo Cars of Canada Corp. today announced vehicle sales reached 424 units in July.
Year-to-date, Volvo Canada has sold 4,317 units, off 29.4 per cent from the 6,116 sold during the first seven months of 2007.
"As the 2008 model year winds down, the selection of 2008 vehicles is rapidly dwindling," said Jeff Pugliese, President and CEO of Volvo Canada. "In fact, there are fewer than 100 units of each 2008 model across the country. In August, the company's focus will switch to 2009 model year vehicles."
Volvo Cars of Canada Corp. is part of the Volvo Car Corporation of Göteborg, Sweden. The company provides marketing, sales, parts, service, technology and training support to the 42 Volvo automobile retailers across the country. The company's product range includes the stylish and sporty C30, the elegant C70 hardtop convertible, the compact S40 sedan, the S60 sport sedan, the S80 flagship sedan and the versatile V50 and V70 wagon.
