Honda Sales Up 10 Percent In August, Toyota Up 6.4 Percent

Daily selling rates are playing silly buggers with some of this month’s sales results, but the numbers in the headline reflect Automotive News [sub]’s calculations on a pure monthly basis.

Honda’s Fit was a hands-down C4C winner, improving sales by nearly 200 percent to 13,593 units. Civic was up nearly 50 percent as well, while the hybrid Insight logged a mere 4,226 sales and the Accord dropped by about 5 percent.
