630land Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Honda sales While Honda was up 13%, CR-V outsold both Accord and Civic! Accord down 27%, only 14,693 sold, with Fusion nipping at it! Far cry from when Accord was #1 car. It's now a dull, fat, boring old timer car. I bet the coupe will die off soon, too. Honda and Acura now have an SUV as #1 seller, no longer a 'youth' or 'sporty' brand, but an average 'grocery getter' make. The CRX, Civic Si Hatch, S2000, Integra, and NSX are long gone.

papilgee4evaeva Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 A CUV/SUV is Honda's best seller? How American of them. :hide: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANTAUS Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 The CRZ seems to be a bomb. so is RDX and some other X thing as well fro Acura. I never really saw them as viable products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NLPRacing Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 ZDX - 148. And people think the MKT is doing poorly. If they would fix the schnoz on these Acura's, they would look a lot better and would probably sell a lot better. That ZDX in person, with the exception of the grill, actually looks pretty good to me (but I'm a fan of the BMW X6 as well). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvrsvt Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I think the MKZ out sold the TL this month too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That ZDX in person, with the exception of the grill, actually looks pretty good to me (but I'm a fan of the BMW X6 as well). Weird. Cause I find the ZDX styling as horrible, and don't mind the MDX much, it looks much better than the ZDX personally. And I too like the BMX X6. Trends are finally catching up to Honda, as they have with Toyota recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked good driving around and the exhaust sounded really good for a V6. I've yet to see a picture of it that makes it look good. I would to see what a Mustang based ZDX/X6 type vehicle would look like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll go ahead and admit to being a fan of the X6 (the ZDX's half-aborted-Parrot beak is enough to ruin the whole thing for me), and a RWD 4 door utility coupe with styling language from the new Fiesta/Focus could be pretty bad ass.

2005Explorer Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 (edited) ZDX - 148. And people think the MKT is doing poorly. Acura is probably not the brand that Ford should be aiming for as they re-build Lincoln. The MKT is doing poorly, but every automaker has a bomb now and then and I will never blame Ford for taking a risk. Sometimes styling risks work like the 1986 Taurus/Sable and sometimes they don't like the Pontiac Aztec. I am afraid that the MKT was a styling risk that didn't work, but I guess we will just have to wait and see what happens in the end.

630land Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 (edited) To many buyers, Acura brand is just 'a nicer Honda', or a 'Honda Acura'. Not a cutting edge make at all anymore, just to average commuters who want a CUV for the 'ride height' to see traffic. The RL is irrelavent, who buys them? I saw one and at first was suprised to actually see it. Smaller than an Accord, too. Edited February 4, 2011 by 630land Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw one and at first was suprised to actually see it. Smaller than an Accord, too. I love how all the non owners blast the shit out of Acura. Definitely not a nicer Honda. I'd call it entry level lux+ and it exists in the same hell that Lincoln does except Acura has a long reputation of safety and reliability. The TSX is a euro accord but everything else in the lineup is unique. Terrible misconceptions and excuses from folks who know they don't have the money to even bother stepping on the lot. None of the "beaky" Acura's photograph worth a shit. They are in-person lookers. Leave Acura alone. Plus this is about how Honda sales are up so.....

Mkxtra Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Came close to buying the ZDX. Honda was giving a 12,000 discount!! Fit to finish looked great, engine was plenty and had a sporty feel. Nice Even after this rebate price seemed too steep! Went for the MKX,,, still waiting on delivery,,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grbeck Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Nobody any more - they canceled it. That's what I thought, too, but there was one at the Philadelphia auto show this past weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
