Survey Reveals Car Sales in U.S. Best Since April

Toyota Motor Corp. (7203) and Honda Motor Co.’s have returned to full production this month. “The big story this month was better inventory and favorable pricing” for consumers, said Jessica Caldwell, an analyst at Santa Monica, California-based Edmunds.com. Toyota and Honda have both bounced back from the effects of the earthquake in Japan this spring, and are greatly responsable for boosting U.S. auto sales back near the pace reached before Japan’s earthquake.
