Honda to End Civic Sales in Japan .

TOKYO—Honda Motor Co. on Tuesday said it will stop selling its Civic brand car in Japan because demand for passenger sedans in its home market is in decline.

Honda, Japan's third largest vehicle manufacturer by sales volume, will end domestic production of the Civic hybrid for the Japanese market in December. It stopped domestic production of the gasoline engine version for the home market in August.

But the car maker will continue exporting the Civic hybrid from its Suzuka plant in Mie Prefecture, western Japan—the only place it produces the gasoline-electric model.

Domestic sales of the midsize sedan will end as soon as inventories run out, but the company will continue to sell the Civic in North America, Europe and other markets abroad as it builds the model at 13 overseas factories.

Honda introduced the Civic in 1972 as its first global strategic car, helping the last Japanese entrant into the domestic car market become a global auto maker.

Sales of the Civic in Japan reached their largest annual volume of 177,000 vehicles in 1975, accounting for 71% of the company's overall domestic sales that year.

But demand dropped in recent years as consumer interest shifted to minivans and compact cars such as the Honda Fit.

Honda sold only 9,000 Civics in the domestic market in 2009, when the model's global sales totaled 609,000 units.
