That's a good news for potential buyers, but the sad news is even Honda is releasing hundreds of part-time workers and breaking job-accord with newly hired.

Who will buy this expensive new accord? 1000 unit sales a month is a very big target in Japan. If Honda successfully sales 500 units, it means Japanese are not worrying about this recession.

"Who will buy this expensive new Accord?"

Anyone who can put off buying their house or manshon for a couple of years. That's what I'd do.
