Honda growth slows, lagging industry

American Honda Motor Co. sold 1,230,480 new vehicles in the United States in 2010. That was 79,696 more than the company placed in 2009, a 6.9 percent increase. Not a bad performance – until you consider that U.S. auto sales as a whole grew by 11.1 percent in the same period. Thus Honda lagged the market, resulting in a loss of all-important market share.

Last Mercury Rolls off the Line and Goes To Fleet Duty

It’s a sad ending to a once-noble brand as the last Mercury has rolled off the production line and it is being put to fleet duty. Apparently, there was no interest in preserving the last of the Grand Marquis for posterity.
