Spurring along a a small amount of private feelings I will as well throw into the mix, I have to report that Honda kicked Toyota’s bumper in a survey taken by patrons of their parts companies. Honda surpassed Toyota as the highest company that auto parts suppliers prefer to do business with, according to an yearly study released Monday. Toyota has been the number one merchant parts supplier since 2002, but its ratings have fallen gradually over the previous two years, according to a report by Planning Perspectives Inc., that surveys manufacturing and repair industries, located in Birmingham, Michigan. Honda’s marks declined from last year as well, though not by as much. It was just enough of a hold to beat out Toyota this year.
