American automakers that conduct business in China have benefited from growing anti-Japanese sentiments among Chinese buyers, as most recent sales numbers indicate. According to Automotive News, a territorial dispute over uninhabited islands have resulted in Chinese consumers rejecting vehicles from Toyota (http://www.autoblog.com/toyota/), Honda (http://www.autoblog.com/honda/) and Nissan (http://www.autoblog.com/nissan/) in increasing numbers.
Meanwhile, sales of General Motors (http://www.autoblog.com/category/gm/) cars and minivans in its largest market grew 14 percent in October, to 251,812. Ford (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/) moved 60,518 units in China, representing a 48-percent increase in sales compared to the same month a year ago.
Meanwhile, Toyota, Honda and Nissan sales have all taken nosedives. Toyota reported that its sales fell 44 percent last month, following a 49-percent drop in September. The latter two companies both announced their worst month-to-month decline in sales, dating back to 2007 for Honda and 2008 for Nissan.
Still yet to be announced are Volkswagen (http://www.autoblog.com/volkswagen/) sales in China. The German automaker has been battling GM for the top sales spot in China this year, and it outsold GM (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/10/26/vw-outsells-gm-in-china-for-first-time-in-8-years/) last quarter for the first time in eight years. When we last checked in on the two companies, GM had a slight year-to-date lead of 77,000 units.
