Honda’s Sedan and Toyota’s Camry was the best selling cars in America for the last eight years. But because of the Japan’s earthquake and tsunami there happened a shortage in production which makes both the car giants namely Toyota and Honda to be in trouble.
According to John Mendel, the top U.S. executive at Honda of America, new Honda civic has been in short supply and the car will not come back to normal inventory levels until the fall.
An automotive analyst with Auto Pacific, Inc. says that “most of the people who buy Toyotas and Hondas look into consumer reports to validate their decisions about what to buy next”.
Because of the decline in Japanese companies U.S. and Korean automakers, such as the Ford Focus and Hyundai Elantra subcompacts, are suddenly winning wide reviews.
The Chevrolet Cruze, the replacement for the unloved Chevy Cobalt, has recently landed at the top of the sales charts.
“The marketplace is a dogfight, In all my years I haven’t ever seen so much competition in darn near every segment" says Honda’s marketing chief Accavitti.
The era when Honda and Toyota could simply introduce new products and expect buyers to flood to the showrooms may be over.
