Honda Reports Record-Breaking Truck Sales

Those numbers are hilarious. The only vehicles that aren't new (RDX, CR-V, Fit) and posted an increase are both about to be dead, the RSX and Insight

The Accord tanked badly, though last August was amazing.

wow, look at those Accord sales tank. The new model can't get here soon enough.

I think that last August was just really good. 34.5k is actually better than average for the Accord.

It's also interesting to note that at the 6-month point, the Accord was ahead of the Camry in retail sales by 6k units: http://fleet-central.com/af/t_pop_pdf.cfm?...06/cars_web.pdf
