I'm pretty sure Honda is #5. Toyota just recent pass Chrysler. Although Honda does not compete in all the market, they are competing in all the market that they can with their current platform and engine choices. So unless they start design truck platform and truck engine, there's no other way for Honda to grow except to make their current product sell even more. Even if they start designing truck platform and engine, we won't see the effect of the engineering/design for another 4-5 years, so I think Honda is not going to increase sales much more in the US until they start entering the truck and big SUV market.
Honda had a higher sales growth percentage-wise for 2003 than Toyota or Nissan.
