Feb 9, 2016

American Honda Motor Company released their January sales numbers last week. They reported a total of 100,497 Honda and Acura vehicles sold. This was a slight decrease from last year, largely because of the unpredictable winter weather across the country, as well as two fewer selling days than January 2015. The Honda division set a new record for January with 90,247 vehicles (50,812 cars and 39,435 trucks). The 2016 Honda Civic Sedan is largely responsible for this, along with the Accord and HR-V.

Honda seems very pleased with these numbers. “Led by incredibly strong demand for the all-new Civic, the Honda brand persevered rain, snow and two fewer selling days to post a strong first month of the year,” said Jeff Conrad, senior vice president and general manager of the Honda Division. “With Honda’s strong cadence of new models throughout 2016 we will continue our momentum and remain positive about 2016.”
