But hey, maybe Honda wants to keep volume low - like Scion - so the car stays exclusive? There are a lot of advantages to selling every car you make vs. not.

They are plenty big on fleet sales - over 10% for the Camry. However to be fair, on my recent trip to Orlando I saw Altima rentals EVERYWHERE (not scientific on that one)
Also, I would argue (as would most rags) that the Civic is a superior to the Corolla. The Corolla however is a lot less expensive and is in plentyful supply -something we can't say about the Civic.
You may now begin the argument now about how Honda has the capacity and is witholding models like the Fit now....

Basically one of the plants producing Civics also produces CR-Vs. Per the above, Honda is making adjustments to its manufacturing as of April 2007. Should be interesting to see if sales pick up.

Camry and Corolla sales continue to climb consistently every month. That's a huge increase for Prius sales, certainly silences the critics that demand for the Prius is dropping.
The LS (again) outsold the S Class. IS sales were also great this month. A bit perplexed by Tundra sales: lower than last February. Too early to judge though, since only the first month of sales. CrewMax doesn't come out until this month. April will be the first full month of Tundra sales, where all configurations will be available.

...............The GS needs HELP NOW, the new V8 will not be enough IMO.
IS is also not doing that well compared to G35 and 3 Series.
