The aging Honda Fit slipped one place to fourth, selling only half the number of Aquas moved during the first quarter of 2013. The Nissan Serena and Toyota Vitz swapper positions while the Honda Freed slipped from fourth place last year.
The Toyota Crown shot up from 26[SUP]th[/SUP] place last year by selling only around three thousand cars fewer during the first three months of 2013 as was sold during the whole of 2012. The evergreen Toyota Corolla slipped on position.
The Honda Stepwagon remains Japan?s favorite minivan but slipped one position, while the Toyota Vellfire slipped out of the top ten list altogether. The Subaru Impreza just missed out as the eleventh most popular car in Japan.

Great sharing

@saqibraza
Good info.
@mwm749
Honda Civic is no longer manufactured in Japan due to very low sales. It is however made in other countries of the world, including Pakistan.

Good info. This proves one thing, that Japanese are very smart, intelligent, yet humble people, no show offs. Japanese are world's 3rd richest Nation. But look at their most favorite selling cars, almost all of them are small sized cars. The Japanese auto industry relies heavily on Exports. They export the Best Cars around the world, including many Very Large SUVs, Large, to medium size sedans, most of which are Manufactured in Japan, or 70%+ of their most expensive parts are made in Japan, to be exported in CKD kits to 3rd world countries like Pakistan, where people like to ride in Big cars to show off, some sort of status symbol. Yet in Japan, they don't focus on Showing off to their neighbors, they don't feel belittled or Baiztee in driving a Hatchback, and most of them can afford, BMW and Mercedez, Lexus, etc. But they Don't. How smart, and humble Japanese people are.
