Honda Motor Co.'s rebound in the United States will continue through the final months of 2012, helping the carmaker boost deliveries about 25 percent this year even after Superstorm Sandy reduced October gains, said U.S. sales chief John Mendel.
The firm expects to deliver almost 1.46 million Honda and Acura brand vehicles this year in the U.S., up from 1.15 million a year ago, Mendel said Friday.
Honda's sales rose only 8.8 percent last month, compared with the 16 percent average gain predicted by analysts in a Bloomberg survey. Honda is the No. 2 Japanese automaker in U.S. sales.
