Honda Achieved All-time Record for Consolidated Net Sales and Other Operating Revenue and Equity in Income of Affiliates for the Seventh Consecutive Fiscal Year with Increased Income in all Business Areas

TOKYO, Japan, April 25, 2007 – Honda Motor Co., Ltd. announced that in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, it achieved an all-time record for consolidated net sales and other operating revenue (herein referred to as “revenue”) for the seventh consecutive fiscal year which amounted to JPY 11,087.1 billion (+11.9%), due to increased revenue in all business areas.

Consolidated operating income amounted to JPY 851.8 billion (-2.0%), Income before income taxes totaled JPY 792.8 billion (- 4.5%), and net income was JPY 592.3 billion (-0.8%).

Operating income and income before income taxes for the previous fiscal year reflected the effect of a JPY 138 billion gain from the “Daiko-Henjyo” (the return of the substitutional portion of employees’ pension funds to the Japanese government), and net income reflected the effect of a JPY 82.8 billion gain from “Daiko-Henjyo”.

Honda realized an all-time record for equity in income of affiliates, with JPY 103.4 billion (+3.8%), for the seventh consecutive year due mainly to increased income of affiliates in Asia.

Honda plans for a year-end cash dividend of JPY 20. Combined with the interim cash dividend of JPY 30 per common share and the third quarter cash dividend of JPY 17 per common share, total cash dividends for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 are expected to be JPY 67 per common share. (As of July 1, 2006, one share of the Company’s common share was split into two. Had this stock split not been carried out, total annual dividends would have been an increase of JPY 34 per common share, to JPY 134.)

· Consolidated unit sales: All-time record unit sales were realized in the automobile and power product business areas. (The total includes fully finished products made by Honda and its subsidiaries as well as unit sales of fully finished products and parts produced locally by affiliates accounted for under the equity method.)

Motorcycles: 10.369 million units (+1.0%); the increase was due to higher sales in South America and India which offset decreased sales in Japan and North America.(Unit sales of approximately 2.86 million units of Honda-brand motorcycle products are not included in the total listed above, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, because they are manufactured and sold by overseas affiliates accounted for under the equity method, but do not use any parts supplied by Honda and its consolidated subsidiaries.)

Automobiles: 3.652 million units (+7.7%); the increase was due to higher sales in overseas markets, mainly in North America, Asia and Europe.

PowerProducts: 6.421 million units (+9.3%); the increase was due mainly to sales growth in North America and Europe.

· Consolidated revenue increased in all business areas and totaled JPY 11,087.1 billion (+11.9%), realizing an all-time record for the seventh consecutive year.

· Consolidated operating income totaled JPY 851.8 billion (-2.0%), due to a gain accounted for in the previous fiscal year from “Daiko-Henjyo”, in addition to a change in model mix, the impact of increased raw material costs, an increase in selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses and research and development (R&D) expenses, which offset the increased profit from revenue, cost reduction efforts, and the positive effect from the depreciation of the Japanese Yen.

· Income before income taxes totaled JPY 792.8 billion (-4.5%). Net income was JPY 592.3 billion (-0.8%).

· Consolidated operating income and income before income taxes for the previous fiscal year reflected the effect of the JPY 138 billion gain from the “Daiko-Henjyo”, and net income reflected the effect of the JPY 82.8 billion gain from the “Daiko-Henjyo”.

· Equity in income of affiliates totaled JPY 103.4 billion (+3.8%), achieving a seventh consecutive all-time record due mainly to the increased income of affiliates in Asia.

Results for the Fourth Quarter (January – March 2007)

· Consolidated revenue for the fiscal fourth quarter totaled JPY 3,087.8 billion (+9.0%), achieving a seventh consecutive all-time record. Operating income for the period was JPY 250.2 billion (-26.6%), income before income taxes was JPY 239.0 billion (-29.4%), equity in income of affiliates was JPY 19.9 billion (-12.2%), and consolidated net income totaled JPY 176.1 billion (-19.7%). (Operating income and income before income taxes for the previous corresponding period reflected the effect of the JPY 138 billion gain from the “Daiko-Henjyo”, and net income reflected the effect of the JPY 82.8 billion gain from the “Daiko-Henjyo”.)

Forecast for the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2008

· Honda is planning for unit sales totals of 10.33 million motorcycles, 3.935 million automobiles, and 6.505 million power products. (Unit sales of approximately 5.14 million units of Honda-brand motorcycle products are not included in the total listed above, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, because they are manufactured and sold by overseas affiliates accounted for under the equity method, but do not use any parts supplied by Honda and its consolidated subsidiaries)

· Honda will conduct its business operations based on the goals described in the following chart with assumption of the average currency exchange rate of JPY 115 = U.S. dollar 1 (average rate for the first half of the fiscal year: JPY 116, latter half of the fiscal year: JPY 113) and JPY 150= Euro 1 (first half: JPY 152, latter half: JPY 148).

Chrysler Group Reports March 2007 US Sales

• Dodge Ram light duty pick-up truck up 15 percent
• Jeep brand up 4 percent in March and up 5 percent for the first quarter
• Jeep Wrangler sales of 13,397 units mark the vehicles' best month ever
• Vehicle inventory significantly reduced year-over-year by approximately 107,000 units or 18 percent
• Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Caravan/Grand Caravan with no-extra- charge DVD system in April - Minivan Month follows successful 'National Truck Month'AUBURN HILLS,

Mich., April 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Chrysler Group reported sales for March 2007 of 206,435 units; down 5 percent compared to a very strong March 2006. All sales figures are reported unadjusted.

"In a flat to slightly down industry, our sales decline of 5 percent compares to a March 2006 that was our best month of March in four years," said Steven Landry, Vice President, Sales and Field Operations. "With strong monthly sales of the Dodge Ram light duty pick-up truck, the Dodge Avenger and Nitro along with Jeep(R) brand sales up 4 percent, we surpassed our own expectations."

The Dodge Nitro had its strongest month ever since the introduction of the model in October 2006 and posted sales of 7,532 units in March. The all-new Dodge Avenger finished the month with sales of 9,026 units. The vehicle is just one of Chrysler Group's recently introduced fuel-efficient offerings that achieve 30 miles per gallon or better in highway driving.

Two other Dodge brand car models also had a strong month: Dodge Caliber sales increased 32 percent over March 2006 with sales of 8,634 units. The Dodge Charger gained 41 percent over last year and posted sales of 12,707 units (March 2006: 9,023 units).

Jeep brand sales were up 4 percent in March with 45,335 units sold. The Jeep Compass (3,802 units), Jeep Patriot (2,109 units) and the continuously strong Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited with an increase of 64 percent over March 2006 and sales of 13,397 units contributed to the overall gain for the brand. March 2007 marks the best month ever in the Jeep Wrangler's history.

For the first quarter 2007, the Jeep brand posted an increase of 5 percent over the first three months last year with 118,472 units sold (2006: 112,951 units).

Improved Dealer Relations

Chrysler Group's Sales organization, led by President and CEO Tom LaSorda, proceeded in the first quarter to intensify dealer relations and communications.

"We continue to deliver on our promise to spend more time with our dealers, and make their profitability a priority," said Tom LaSorda. "One important achievement in the month of March was that our vehicle inventory was down by more than 100,000 units compared to the previous year -- in-line with the guidance we gave earlier."

Minivan Month in April

With 'National Minivan Month' in April, Chrysler Group continues to focus its Marketing approach and incentive offerings on its vehicles' strong product features.

"Combined with a competitive vehicle pricing, we will feature a no-extra- charge DVD system for our Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Caravan and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans," said Michael Manley, Vice President, Sales and Dealer Operations. "The Minivan Month follows a successful 'National Truck Month' in which our no-extra-charge HEMI(R) engine upgrade contributed to another 15 percent gain in sales for the Dodge Ram light duty pick-up truck -- following two already strong months in 2007."

Chrysler Group finished the month with 499,771 units of inventory, or a 68-day supply. Inventory is significantly down by 18 percent compared to March 2006 when it was at 606,734 units.
