Chinese love their Accords

Chinese do love their Honda Accords, at least according to The Shanghai Daily:

HONDA Motor Co, Japan’s second-largest carmaker, sold 45 percent more vehicles in China last month, helped by demand for Accord sedans.

Honda sold 25,344 vehicles through its two joint ventures on the Chinese mainland in February, the company said in a statement yesterday, Bloomberg reported. The automaker sold 56,368 vehicles in the first two months, 50 percent more than a year earlier.

Honda is trying to improve quality to expand its foothold in the world’s second-largest auto market. The Tokyo-based company said last week that it will recall 528,406 vehicles including Accord sedans, Odyssey multipurpose vehicles and Fit compact cars.

Guangzhou Honda Automobile Co, a joint venture with Denway Motors Ltd, sold 19,329 cars in February, 26 percent more than a year earlier.
