By Makiko Kitamura
Dec. 6 (Bloomberg) -- Honda Motor Co.'s redesigned Fit compact car overtook Toyota Motor Corp.'s Corolla compact as Japan's best-selling car model in November, ending a 13-month streak for the Corolla.
Honda more than doubled sales of the Fit to 18,138 cars, the Japan Automobile Dealers Association said in a release today. Honda released the revamped Fit on Oct. 26. Toyota's Corolla took the second spot as sales fell 10 percent from a year earlier to 15,348.
Toyota claimed eight of the top 10 slots in last month's sales rankings, excluding minicars. Honda, Japan's second- biggest automaker, had one and Nissan Motor Co., Japan's third- largest automaker, had one with the Serena minivan.
Including minicars, the Wagon R minicar, made by Suzuki Motor Corp., was the second-bestselling model.
