Companies that sell Toyota Parts know that Toyota Camry Parts sell a lot better than Toyota Corolla Parts in Canada. They know that the reverse is true in America. And what we can all extrapolate from that information is that the Corolla is a more popular car in Canada than in America. But why is that so? It’s because the people in Canada are buying different cars altogether compared to the cars bought in America.
Research indicates that Canadian car drivers actually care about entirely different auto features than the features which are desired by American car drivers. Canadians are more likely to look for compact and subcompact cars. They want cars that are roomy inside but still small whereas Americans still like to get bigger cars if they can afford to do so.
The main reason for this is probably because the cost of owning a car in Canada is higher than the cost of owning a car in America. Canadians typically enjoy less disposable income than Americans and they have to stretch it further since the price of gasoline is a lot higher there. Americans, on the other hand, may have tight budgets but they can get a car that they really want if they try.
One of the things that I thought I should do when I setup shop in town was go above and beyond my competitors. You see, I wasn’t the only parts shop in town, so I knew the competition would be fierce and yet I wasn’t worried. I had a trick up my sleeve.
