Sales from both Honda and Acura Divisions totaled 1,509,358 and pushed American Honda annual sales up 3.5 percent based on the daily selling rate*. The results also mark the company’s 13th consecutive year-over-year sales increase. American Honda December sales totaled 131,778 vehicles, up 3.0 percent for the month based on the daily selling rate.

“American Honda’s ten consecutive years of record sales are consistent with our strategy to build long-term, sustainable and steady growth,” said Dick Colliver, executive vice president of American Honda. “In this year of record fuel prices, Honda has benefited from its position as the most fuel-efficient car company in America**.”

“Honda light-truck models are more competitive than ever,” said Colliver. “Consumers who compare safety ratings, fuel economy and comfort and convenience features are finding much to like in our lineup.”
Civic Hybrid sales are up 21.2 percent to 31,253 for the calendar year and sales of all Honda hybrid vehicles (Civic Hybrid, Accord Hybrid and Insight) totaled 37,573 vehicles.
