American Honda Reports Total July Sales Results:Down 6% But Acura July Sales Up 16%
American Honda Reports July Sales Results; Acura Sets New July Record
TORRANCE, Calif., Aug. 1 American Honda posted total sales
of 100,921 cars and light trucks in July, a 6.1 percent decrease versus last
year's best-ever July performance. Continued strong demand for top-selling
models including the Accord, Odyssey and Acura MDX resulted in significantly
reduced availability of key models for the month.
American Honda year-to-date sales of 704,847 are up 3.1 percent over last
year's record setting results. Acura posted its best ever July with sales up
16.4 percent to 13,537 on strong sales of the 3.2TL performance luxury sedan
and all-new RSX sports coupe. Year-to-date sales of Acura models are up
24.1 percent over last year. Honda Division sales for year to date are up
0.3 percent over year-ago results to 606,400 Honda cars and light trucks.
"The combination of reduced inventories and a slightly down market kept us
from hitting an all-time high this month, but underlying demand for our key
models remains very strong," said Dick Colliver, executive vice president of
sales for American Honda Motor Co., Inc. "The arrival of our 2002 models this
month will help us to stay on a record pace for the year."
