Honda Canada Inc. reported combined August sales of 14,817 units by its Honda and Acura divisions, a 19% decrease over last August.

The Honda Automobile Division reported August sales of 13,516 units, down 18%. The Acura Division reported August sales of 1,301 units, down 27% from last year.

"Due to the unprecedented demand by Canadians for fuel-efficient, high-value cars, our dealers experienced a significant shortage of both Honda Civic and Fit models. In fact, many dealers ran out of the Fit subcompact as customers are waiting for the all-new 2009 Fit which goes on sale early this month.

Compared to last August, which was an all-time record month for Honda Canada sales, we could not supply products at the same level," according to Jerry Chenkin, executive vice president, Honda Canada Inc.

Honda is the world's preeminent maker of engines for automobiles, motorcycles and power equipment. With 134 manufacturing facilities in 28 countries worldwide, Honda now attracts 23 million customers annually.

Honda Canada manufactures the Honda Ridgeline and Civic sedan and coupe, and the Acura CSX and MDX at its two plants in Alliston, Ontario. A new, third plant in Alliston, with the capacity to produce up to 200,000 vehicle engines annually, is scheduled to begin operations later this month.
