    TORRANCE, Calif., Oct. 2, 2012 – American Honda today reported September 2012 U.S. sales of 117,211 units, an increase of 30.9 percent compared with September 2011. The Honda Division posted September 2012 sales of 102,845 units, an increase of 29.3 percent compared with September 2011.

    Honda

    • Accord leads all Honda vehicles in September with 29,182 in sales posting a 56.6-percent gain compared to the year prior
    • Civic gains 57.0 percent compared with September 2011 with 21,546 in sales
    • CR-V sets a new September record with sales of 22,268, up 13.6 percent

    “The all-new 2013 Accord hit dealerships in mid-September and our dealers are already seeing a significant increase in customer traffic surrounding the new model,” said John Mendel, American Honda executive vice president of sales. “Combined with the strength of key models such as Civic, CR-V and Odyssey, Honda is once again firing on all cylinders as we enter fall.”

    • RDX sets its 5th-consecutive record sales month with 2,938 units, up 119.9 percent compared to September 2011
    • MDX retains the top-selling Acura title with sales of 4,692 units, up more than 60.4 percent from September 2011
    • TL sedan sales up 29.1 percent from last year with 3,236 in monthly sales

    “Acura’s core models of TL and MDX continue as a driving force for the brand,” said Jeff Conrad, vice president of Acura sales. “Now, we have new products such as RDX setting monthly sales records and the ILX continuing to carve out a foothold as the gateway to our lineup.”

    The daily selling rate (DSR) is calculated with 25 days for September 2012 and 25 days for September 2011. Year-to-date, the DSR is calculated with 230 days for 2012 and 229 days for 2011. All other percentages in release are unadjusted; see table for adjusted DSR figures.

    so this is how they can pay for the cracked engine block in my buddy's 07 or 08 whatever Civic. "Mr. customer of course we will extend that warranty to 8 years and fix it for free please don't tell anyone, see look at how awesome Honda is please buy from us again one last request please just don't go telling everyone our motors and trannies and such do tend to blow up ok"

    Acura sedan sales are about as lackluster as their sedan models are distinctive and compelling.

    They have a lot of mechanical issues, believe it or not.

    Looking to perhaps trade the Miata in next year, and looking at a GTI rather than a Civic SI, as the GTI would be more reliable.

    When a VW is thought of as more reliable than a Honda...houston we got a problem!

      I wonder what I'd do! It didn't mention where this was.  I'm guessing in and around Lake Tahoe.  It's a beautiful sport but an expensive sport ... and I don't have time to keep up with the trendy apparel and equipment, not to mention an orthopedic mishap. It's like a group of any other animals crossing the road!  I don't think black bears are looking to interact with humans. There are about 10 ski areas in and around Lake Tahoe.  My favorite one was Sierra Ski Ranch ... now renamed, so that dates me.  Northstar is very impressive and Boreal, next to I-80, is the easiest to reach.  My least favorite of the 4 I've been to was Kirkwood.  I was still under 30 and it was proof positive that a lot of way cool douchebag kids drop out (for a while) to work at ski areas.

      AI is a pill.   Too bad, that could have been a beauty with a real car. I remember that AI Cutlass Supreme "amended" with that split grille found on full-size Oldsmobiles. There's some weird stuff going on in the opera window and at the rear, but I can't say that the grille is all that bad. I wonder how many of our members drew or sketched cars when they were kids or teens. *raises hand* Now, above is a real '82 Cutlass Calais with a 260 c.i. (4.3 L) V8. They saved the more elaborate egg crate grille in '82 for the Brougham and the Calais. Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

      That's an AI image...looks like a mix of a Plymouth Duster and a Chevy Nova.

      Good morning This is what I really wanted to share. That's what Californians do ... share. Maybe not museum grade, but it works well. I don't know if that's a Ford, an AMC, or an old Buick Skylark!

      Maybe I didn't use the right words.  It's overly supple and overly assisted in parking lots and when driving slowly on smaller streets.  It does not communicate much when there are lots of thick walls next to small roads and farms right beside me! After renting it, I read a review and it said that it doesn't corner or track very well, and that started getting annoying last night.   I drove a Citroen C3 here somewhere between 2019 and 2021. I believe I reviewed it.  First, I couldn't believe how smooth it was. It handled well in parking lots and was surprisingly smooth and agile on the highway, too.  It's not like you get two times the smoothness because the car costs two times as much. I have a friend who went for civil engineering at ASU.  He said that they used the same textbooks, for the most part, that they did at Berkeley.  So, with Berkeley being so much more prestigious, and with a much lower acceptance rate, it's not like you get two times a better civil engineering education there.  So my point is that for twice the money, the increase in drivability is not a ratable or linear relationship. I've come to see that the extra money in this BYD is all about the many bells and whistles that take about a week to learn. It's not that impressive on the highway and on rougher roads. I sort of like it on nicely asphalted urban streets at lower speeds and it has been getting respectable fuel mileage. I liked zooming around in that Citroen C3 with the side "Air Bump."  I had asked them for a smaller car instead and they told me that if it had to be automatic, it had to be this one.
