On Feb.12, Honda Canada Inc. celebrated the retail sale of its three millionth passenger vehicle in Canada. This year marks the 35th anniversary of cars and trucks sold in Canada by Honda and its luxury division Acura. These two important events reflect Honda's commitment to Canada.

"This is a significant milestone for Honda in Canada," said Jim Miller, executive vice president of Honda Canada Inc.  

"We began selling cars in 1973 with a handful of dealers, selling only 747 Honda Civics that first year. Today we sell in excess of 170,000 cars and trucks per year through our 215 Honda and 48 Acura dealerships across Canada.

"It's hard to believe we have achieved this milestone in such a relatively short period of time.  We want to thank those three million Canadian consumers who bought our cars and trucks for their support and confidence in our products."

Another recent milestone for Honda Canada was achieved at the end of the 2007 calendar year when the Honda Civic earned the title of Canada's best-selling car for a 10th consecutive year.
