Lightbulb Honda/Acura


12/03/2013 - TORRANCE, Calif.
CR-V sets 2nd consecutive monthly record
Acura RDX sets 19th consecutive monthly record
Acura light trucks post record November sales on strength of all-new MDX and RDX
American Honda Motor Co., Inc. today reported November 2013 U.S. total sales of 116,507 units, a decrease of 0.1 percent compared with record November 2012 sales (down 3.9 percent based on the Daily Selling Rate, or DSR*). Year-to-date sales reached 1,390,057, an increase of 7.8 percent. Honda Division November sales reached 101,948, a decrease of 2.3 percent when compared to record division sales last November. Acura Division posted sales of 14,559, an increase of 18.9 percent compared to November 2012.

Honda
CR-V set its 2nd consecutive monthly record for November, with sales of 23,509, up 5.3 percent from November 2012
Accord, recently named 2014 Green Car of the Year, was Honda's best-selling model in November with sales of 27,093, up 3.2 percent for the month and up 10.6 percent for the year versus 2012
Honda Division year-to-date sales top 1.2 million, up 7.9 percent for the year
"With our 2nd-best-ever November sales, we likely extended our retail sales lead despite very aggressive market actions by competitors in key high volume segments," said John Mendel, executive vice president of sales at American Honda. "And we're upping the ante as we approach the close of the year with a significantly updated 2014 Civic going on sale in just a few days."

Acura
Acura posted November sales of 14,559, an increase of 18.9 percent compared to last November, with Acura light trucks topping a record set in November of 2006
MDX was the brand's best-selling vehicle in November with 6,091 units, up 80.8 percent compared to last November
RDX set its 19th consecutive monthly record with sales of 3,663, up 20.7 percent compared to last year
"It's gratifying that the new MDX has sparked such a strong customer response so shortly after we hit a home run with RDX," said Jeff Conrad, vice president and general manager of Acura sales. "It's clear we've found the sweet spot of the luxury SUV market."

lol .I've done it for nearly a decade and try to organize lists that are what the industry uses. GS69 organizes lists and doesn't share them here since they would be extremely questionable.

As advice, post the news and put it in quotes and then link the news outside the quote so people can more easily recognize it as a news release and not your words.

RX sold over 9000. The MDX should sell more, like the RX there is now a FWD and AWD model. Sadly their sedans are selling about as bad as it can get and are very unloved by consumers.

Sounds like a plan.

It was a big month for sales in the auto industry and at SEMA people were very upbeat about the future of the automobile and the industry as a whole.

Mercedes-Benz USA (MBUSA) today reported the highest November retail volumes in its history with 37,345 units sold across the Mercedes-Benz, Sprinter and smart model lines, up 14.4% from the 32,649 vehicles sold in November 2012. Sales for the Mercedes-Benz brand alone jumped 13.4% over the same period last year to 34,376, while year-to-date volumes hit a record 279,501. Adding year-to-date sales of 18,988 for Sprinter Vans and 8,409 units at smart, MBUSA achieved a year-to-date grand total of 306,898 units, making November the 50th consecutive month of month-over-month sales increases since the streak began in late 2009.

"November's result has already propelled us past last year's record sales volume," said Steve Cannon, president and CEO of MBUSA. "We're striking a chord with more customers than ever before thanks to a strong product portfolio, the best dealers in the business and a laser focus on the ownership experience."

The E-Class, completely redesigned for the 2014 model year, came in first at 8,614 units, followed by the sporty C-Class with sales of 7,878. The M-Class, the brand's top-selling SUV, rounded out the top three at 4,328, up 11.1% over the same period in 2012.

The Sprinter lineup, which received a full redesign for model year 2014 on sale since September, posted strong November gains of 23.3% at 2,010 units. Monthly sales at smart reached 959—up 36.2% from November 2012.

Mercedes-Benz's BlueTEC diesel models recorded sales of 1,724 for the month, up 8.0%, and 15,092 year-to-date, an increase of 9.9% from the 13,738 units sold in November 2012. The company's high-performance AMG models finished the month with sales of 896, up 34.9%.

Separately, Mercedes-Benz Certified Pre-Owned (MBCPO) recorded sales of 8,847 vehicles in November, an increase of 24% compared to the 7,113 units sold in November 2012. On a year-to-date basis, MBCPO sold 89,349 vehicles, rising 22% from the 73,431 vehicles sold during the comparable period last year.

of course the rx and mdx are very different vehicles, but no question rx sales are amazing. probably helped by blowing out remainder of '13s but nevertheless impressive.

point about mdx sales was that they're up over 70% vs. last year with the new model. rx up about 3%.

could be wrong, but i believe rominl already posted that.
