It speaks volumes that Honda (HMC), an also-ran Japanese car company behind Toyota (TM) for years, had two of the top five selling cars in the US during June. It is a testament to the firm’s willingness to stay with small cars and small-engine SUVs when there was a temptation to move into the heavy pick-up market.
Chrysler did not have a single car on the list.
The Honda Civic sold 39,967 units during June, up 9.5%. The Accord sold 39,704, up 37.3%, more than any vehicle on the top ten list.
Ford’s (F) only two vehicles on the list were the F-series pick-up with sales down by 40.5% to 38,789, and the Focus, off 5.5% to 17,950. So much for Ford selling small, fuel-efficient cars.
