Torrance, Calif. 07/03/2006 -- American Honda Motor Co., Inc., posted June sales of 126,449 Honda and Acura vehicles, surpassing the previous record set last June, the company announced today. American Honda year-to-date sales rose 7.1 percent to 741,227 units, for the company's strongest first-half sales on record.
Honda Division posted its sixth consecutive record month with June sales, up 3.4 percent to 111,342 cars and light trucks. Record June Ridgeline sales of 3,918 units, up 9.3 percent, also propelled the truck to its sixth consecutive monthly record.
