Honda has a much better selection of small cars than GM. Chevrolet and Pontiac have only 2 each. They do seem to look a lot like the other. The only sports car available in America are very expensive. So one goes from an overpowered sports car to an overweight SUV. I would say with the end of the "big 3" Toyota and Honda are on top! Lets give a cheer for the "home team"! My home Japan

For more support - Honda and Mazda didn't get too heavily invested into the mid to large SUV and pick-up market. Those segments have seen the greatest sales slips with the rising gas prices and collapse of the U.S. home building and construction industry. So the data makes sense.

Goldman & Sachs just estimated a U.S. market of 11 million vehicles in 2009, down from an estimated 13.4 million sales for 2008 and 16 million in 2007. Bad news for the entire industry - U.S., Japanese and European.

Honda or any other japan motor company may rise up.

Honda or any other japan motor must buy big stakes in those japan motor companies that need boost or want more capital inputs.

This has been way for many motor companies to rise or fall.
