Acura December Sales Crater by 39.3%
“With outstanding resale value and a strong lineup, Acura will be in an excellent position when the automobile market begins its recovery.” Which can’t come soon enough for Honda’s up market (mid-market?) brand, which saw sales sink by 39.3 percent. The situation is so dire– or the PR department so clever– that the company isn’t providing the usual chart showing December ’07 vs. December ’08 sales broken down by vehicle, and stats for year-to-date comparisons. All they’ll tell us is the headline number and “in its second full month of sales, the all-new 2009 TL performance luxury sedan remained Acura’s sales leader for November with 3,160 vehicles sold… The all-new 2009 TSX sports sedan recorded sales of 1,712 for the month, with year-to-date sales reaching 29,694 units. The MDX luxury SUV was Acura’s best-selling light truck, with sales of 2,101, while the RDX crossover SUV tallied 681 units.”

Sorry, but clearly fellas, you are a bunch of bore asses when it comes to design. It may not appeal to the masses as hoped, but at least its not the same old dull crap most companies are putting out. I myself enjoy different and pushing design cues. Go drive the car, its phenomenal and an outstanding bargain. But, opinions are like certain orifices, everybody has one.
