GM Inside News Forum - View Single Post - Honda's May 2008 Sales: Up 11.3% for Record Month

Most Honda trucks have been down month over month for a while, at least a year. Acura has also been doing miserably.

The CRV is stable up in sales but down 1.5% when adjusted. They could probably sell more civics if they could make more. They recently devoted the whole Alliston plant to civic production and moved SUV production to a U.S. plant.

Fit sales are also limited by a lack of supply, and Honda can't produce 50k civics a month at Alliston. They have a new plant in Indiana opening, but they may start importing some more cars from Japan.
