American Honda Motor Co., Inc., set a new November sales record of
80,849, up 3.5 percent, as light truck sales also set a record for
the month, up 9 percent to 21,567. Acura Division sales of 12,902
jumped 44.6 percent from last year on the strength of the all-new MDX
luxury sport utility vehicle and topped the previous Acura record for
the month set in 1991. Honda Odyssey sales also set a November at
9,737, up 2.3 percent. Honda Civic sales were up 4.5 percent to
21,074 as availability of the all-new model began to improve. "Our
record sales month was more an indication of strong demand for some
hot products that we're fortunate to have, than the overall strength
of the market," said Dick Colliver, American Honda executive vice
president. "The overall market has slipped into neutral and there is
not a lot of forward motion right now."
Year-to-date American Honda sales of 1,070,825 are running 8 percent ahead of last year's all-time record pace.
