2009 Honda Civic Hybrid – Most fuel efficient highway driver in North America but limited availability, no promotion and high prices are promoting its death spiral :ccry:
Honda posted November sales of 74,003, an increase of 5.5 percent when compared to November 2008 results of 76,233, the company announced today. Honda year-to-date sales of 1,043,641 represent a decrease of 21.7 percent.
Honda Division posted November sales of 65,234, an increase of 3.7 percent versus November 2008. The Accord registered the most sales of any Honda model for the month with 17,239, an increase of 7.5 percent. Additional models with year-over-year sales increases included the CR-V, up 24.8 percent to 13,955; and the Pilot, up 26.2 percent to 6,502.
"We're finding opportunities for growth in multiple areas of the market," said John Mendel, executive vice president of sales for American Honda. "Consumer interest is returning in several segments, including light trucks."
Acura Division sales increased 20.8 percent to 8,769. The MDX led the division with sales of 3,465, an increase of 79.3 percent. The TSX and RDX also recorded gains, up 35.0 percent and 50.5 percent, respectively.
The daily selling rate (DSR) is calculated with 23 days for November 2009 and 25 days for 2008. Year-to-date, the DSR is calculated with 280 days for 2009, versus 282 days for 2008.
HCH-II sales reached 243 units while Insight-II sales saw 1,403 new owners, the lowest month since its release.
Any comparison to Nov. of 2008 is a bit misleading as November 2008 was about as bad as it gets.
