VERBATIM: Honda’s April-to-September profits totaled $3.2 billion dollars, declining from nearly four-billion dollars for the same period the previous year. Company officials say although Honda sold more motorcycles globally in the first fiscal half, boosted by healthy demand in Asia, its car sales fell, especially in China. Honda lowered its profit forecast for the fiscal year through March by 330 million dollars to 6.2 billion dollars.
