When most other auto makers are struggling, Honda auto sale are breaking it's own records. I guess when you produce fun, efficient, realiable, high-tech cars, MOST people will buy them and next come loyalty:

6% increase in North America - not a huge change in their biggest market.

The 74% change in the European markets is probably the source of most of their growth.

In my area - all I see are new Nissans/Infinitis

Overall Honda/Acura vehicle sales for the first quarter of 2004 were down 0.9 percent, as noted here. Honda sales were down 4.5 percent but Acura sales were up 26.8 percent.

First quarter 2004 Nissan/Infiniti sales were up 33.2 percent. However, during that period, they still sold only 237,494 vehicles, vs 311,801 for Honda/Acura.

 

Nissans is follow the lead of Audi and VW which almost went bankuptcy at one time. So, what they are doing is "When your'e behind in competition, come back in full force and strike it back and strike it hard" even if you have to borrow the money out off the Ying & Yang.
