SEPTEMBER U.S. AUTO SALES
Toyota monthly sales plummet 32%
Honda down 24.0%, GM down 15.6%
With a 32.3 percent decline in sales, Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A. in September turned in one of the worst performances in its 50-year history in the United States. Toyota sold 81,282 vehicles last month, down from 125,007 in September 2007. American Honda saw its September sales decline 24.0 percent over last year, while General Motors fell 15.6 percent. Honda's September sales totaled 86,629, a result Honda officials blame on jittery consumers. “This month was an incredibly volatile month for Wall Street,” Dick Colliver, Honda's executive vice president for sales, said in a statement. “Obviously, no one is immune to market shifts as dramatic as we are seeing.” GM's 15.6 percent decline for September easily outperformed most of the industry.
