Honda Civic sales up 28% for new March record

With the reinvented 10th generation 2016 Honda Civic setting sales records 3 months running, American Honda Motors is on a roll!

The first time I sat behind the wheel of Honda’s latest Civic manifestation, all the troubles of American Honda’s past melted into distant memory. As I settled into the comfort zone that is arguably the best drive and ride environment available in the compact sedan segment today, the realization that Honda had just hit a proverbial home run with Civic’s break out design was a given. Looking to the numbers, 87,303 of your family, friends and neighbors agree with me.

As our friend Mr. Jeff Conrad senior vice president and general manager of the Honda Division so eloquently puts it: "The power of Honda's well-balanced portfolio was on full display in March," said Jeff Conrad, senior vice president and general manager of the Honda Division. "Importantly, we will continue to strengthen both our car and truck lineups throughout the year, with new core and niche products to further extend the brand's appeal."
