Dongfeng Honda Automobile Co., Ltd., an automobile production and sales joint venture of Honda in China, held a ceremony at its automobile production plant in Wuhan, Hubei Province, to celebrate the line-off of the new Spirior, which is scheduled to go on sale next month in China.

The company's sales results have continued strong, with sales of 109,000 units for the first seven months of 2009 (January - July 2009), up 10.5% compared to the same period a year ago. The new Spirior will offer new value of a premium sporty sedan for sedan buyers in China.

With this expansion, Honda's total annual automobile production capacity in China reaches 610,000 units, including 360,000 units for GuangqiHonda and 50,000 units for Honda Automobile (China), which produces automobiles exclusively for export.
