Honda is now the 9th largest UK market share at 4.0%, only 0.5% behind BMW. Honda Civic 3dr, and Honda CR-V were both the top sellers in their category, the latter outselling Toyota RAV4 and Land Rover Freelander combined; Honda Jazz had 3rd place in the keenly contested B-Sector (5dr) behind decidedly inferior competition (in the author's humble opinion!). With a dramatically improved product range for 2006, we greatly look forward to the figures for 2006!
