Honda has already passed Nissan as the #2 Japanese car in the US (if you include
their American made cars) and either has passed or soon will pass both VW and
AMC as the #4 American car manufacturer ...

For your information, some production figures:

			Jan 1-19, 1985		Jan 1-21, 1984

American Motors		  7,865			  8,924
Chrysler		 68,103			 62,581
Ford			107,023			 84,287
General Motors		282,481			280,551
Honda			  8,739			  6,600
Volkswagen		  5,213			  6,585

Naturally, these don't quite qualify as valid as annual production
(e.g. the Golf production is not quite up to full speed etc.) but
gives you an idea of how things are going for Honda.  All figures from
the January 21 issue of Automotive News.
