Honda Canada Inc. today celebrated the sale of its three millionth detail car in Canada. This year also marks the 35th anniversary of selling cars and trucks in Canada by Honda and its luxury car division, Acura. These two important events testify the active role played by Honda Canada.
"Honda crossed a milestone in its activities in Canada," stated Jim Miller, vice-president of Honda Canada Inc. "We started selling cars in 1973 and then we had a few dealers. This year- the, we had sold only 747 Honda Civic. Today, our 215 dealers and 48 Honda Acura dealers sell each year over 170,000 cars and trucks in Canada.
"We have hard to believe that we have reached this stage in such a short time. We want to thank the three million Canadians who buy our cars and trucks for their support and confidence in our products." At the end of the 2007 calendar year, Honda Canada has taken another important step, the Honda Civic has been designated the most sold in Canada for the 10th consecutive year car.
