Selling thousands of cars over the last few years.Record low in the last five years was 47,001 in 2001 and record high was 60,529 in 2007.With stats like these you would never guess that Honda Australia started out manufacturing only motorcycles and then lawnmowers. Today’s models like Accords, and Civics took the place of the first models like the Life, Scamp, and the Z360. Honda started the Honda Foundation in 1992. The foundation that supports different Australian charities and non profit organizations is away to give back to the public for helping Honda achieve so much.The road Honda has traveled to get to where it is today was a long one. Last year alone they sold over a million new vehicles! Honda released the 40th Anniversary Accord to celebrate just how far they have come. Happy 40th birthday Honda Australia!
