A large portion of this is fleet sales, as well as government sales. I don't know about State governments, but most Federal agencies probably don't want to be seen driving imports.

Not to mention all the Big Three employees and their suppliers who drive American only because they're expected to. I wouldn't call those sales an honest measure of consumer demand.

And when you go to rent a car, how many Civics and Accords do you see? I have never seen ONE in a rental fleet. Why? because there are enough regular customers who want to buy them, at higher profits, so Honda does not need to pawn them off to rental fleets. That's not true for the Big Three.
