The Honda Accord has Camry schadenfreude written all over it. With a 41% increase, and 22k units sold, the Accord is off to a likely win in the passenger car sweepstakes of 2010. The Civic didn’t ride the updraft nearly as well, with a modest 5% lift. The Insight’s 2k units continue to tail the Prius’ 8k units by a 1 to 4 ratio, somewhat better than a few months back.
The Honda brand was up 12%, and Acura by 17%. But all of Acura’s cars were down; its growth was fueled by the two CUVs: MDX: +65%; RDX: +20%. Honda CUVs were all down a bit, and the Odyssey up a tad. And three FCX Clarities were leased. Full details:

What's going on with Fit? I remember trying one out a few months ago. Accord was too big, Civic was too meh, Fit was just right (a very close match with Mini, score-wise). The only reason I didn't buy a Fit was that I had too much money allocated, so I ended buying in the different class entirely. Seems like an excellent car, yet it is tanking, why?
The Crosstours seem to be selling pretty well, and I don't quite get the hate for them here. I always liked 5-doors, and it seems like a reasonable alternative to most of the SUV/CUV offerings.
