Message: [QUOTE="Tobias Funke, post: 3009702, member: 850"] Honda Honda does not really sell into fleet very much. For years many OEM’s have used rental companies and fleet companies to drive volume. This comes in two forms which in one case they sell the car outright at a discounted rate, which had become less and less favorable to the rental company as time goes by. The other situation they have the manufacturer sells it with the intent in buying it back at a pre negotiated term. Honda has stayed out of this for the most part to maintain brand quality. Think of the Chevy Malibu or Ford Taurus. They were two strong cars but became known as rental cars. Others limit how many they sell into fleet for similar reasons but are more willing to do it.
