Accordsforall -
Accord = midsize
Civic = compact
You are confusing market segments. Comparing purely the midsize segment -
2006 sales:
Accord: 360,039 (including Hybrid model)
Malibu/Impala: 457,721
Oh, and don't forget the other GM midsize cars totalling 383,542. (Century, Lacrosse, G6, Grand Prix, Saab 93, Aura)
I guess to be fair we should add in the Acura TL, but that's only another 71,348.
As you can see GM grossly outsells Honda in this segment.
Compacts are another story:
Civic: 347,891 (including Hybrid model)
Cobalt: 211,449
If you add in Ion & G5 thats another 109,944. But if you add in TSX & RSX thats another 55,031. So Honda comes out ahead 402,922 to 321,393.
