Honda Sales Reflect Economy, Gas Prices
Among the many car makers, only Honda posted a gain in the month of June.
At Dick Hide Honda, the local car salesmen are having trouble keeping up with demand. Recently, the smaller models have been the hot sellers, including the Honda Civic and the Honda Accord–two of the best selling cars nationwide.
Analysts are saying the struggling economy, as well as high gas prices, are taking its toll on the auto market. Employees at Dick Ide say that the two main factors for the surge in Honda purchases at their store are the gas mileage the cars get and previous success with a Honda.
GM, Ford, Chrysler, and Toyota sales were all down in June.
