Japanese Auto Sales

Global Automotive Daily has published the Japanese auto sales for August, stating that a 2.1 per cent increase in vehicle sales has ended the market’s six month consecutive decline. Mini vehicle sales were also up by 2.6 per cent which continued nine months of growth. Analysts say that the vehicle recovery is mainly due to a low of comparison base, as August 2003 was down by 2.6 per cent, and growth of the big players like Toyota and Honda.
