Japan: Nissan Leads Decline in Auto Sales

Nissan led a decline in domestic auto sales in May, as higher taxes and fuel costs cut demand. Sales of cars, trucks and buses fell 6.1 percent from a year earlier to 221,377, the Japan Automobile Dealers Association said. The total excludes minicars. Sales at Nissan dropped 11.4 percent to 33,681 vehicles. Toyota’s sales fell 2.8 percent to 105,519 vehicles. Honda sold 26,900 vehicles, a 5.1 percent increase, helped by its revamped Fit compact.
