This is kind of off topic but why do people still refer to American car companies as domestic? The days of the Auto Pact are long gone. GM, Ford and Chrysler are foreign based companies with no loyalty to Canada. There's nothing domestic about them.

Outside of cities I think trucks are the vehicle of choice.

Where do you live? The province where people drive the most small cars is apparently Quebec, where they get more snow than in most of the rest of the country. Quebec City, for example, gets more than twice as much snow as Prince George, BC. Cars are just fine in almost any winter climate.
