    • 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.”

    “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 am the proud owner of this: It was on my list of things to do for the new year and it has arrived.
    • Today, Jan. 14, would have been my LaCrosse's 18th birthday.  It could have done everything except drink. Same color, but different alloys. (stock photo) I hope that the buyer is getting good service from it.  Every once in a while, when I see one, I miss it. Between the '92 Regal coupe and this last one, I have driven the 3800 V6, both as the original owner, for 399,000 miles.  And the way I maintained them, there would have been a good bit more useful life in them left.
    • interesting conversations... Too bad I missed out on it.  20 years ago....was a loooong time ago.  Ill add my 2 cents worth regardless...or should I say irregardless.  I am not against dialects or pronunciations.  That is how the region speaks.  Like a Boston accent.  I wouldnt necessarily  enjoy listening to it on a daily basis...as an outsider...but if I was a local yokel, Id speak that way for sure.  And as an outsider of the Boston Masshole region, I actually have a chuckle listening to it.  The southern drawl just drives me nuts.  HATE IT!!!  I once thought it was charming but now I just CANT PHOQUING STAND IT!!!  I think the stupid phoques that keep on voting AGAINST their own interests have made me DESPISE the region and ANYTHING that comes out of it.  But...this is how they speak and its unique to them and obviously its acceptable as a language communication thing as this is how these idiots speak.  Their dialect and pronunciation of words has NOTHING to do with their uneducated asses. Their racism and hatred however... Now...what I do NOT like as words of communication. There are plenty... I can ONLY think of one at this point in time though. I HATE IT when people say an age of another person, or about themselves, and say it as:  75 years young.  58 years young.  We ALL grow old. The lucky ones that actually live that long to be called old.  Being old is not a negative.  Therefore wear your age as a badge of honour for actually SURVIVING this crazy world.   75 years OLD goddamit!!!   58 years OLD Jesus effin' Christ!!! Now...about swearin' and cussin' I dont like that either.  But in today's world and for the past 20-30 years actually, swearin' and cussin' are the least problematic societal issues we have to deal with. And its so common nowadays that swear words are just part of everyday vernacular.  Means nothin' anymore to 'swear'.   But one looks like an uncouth idiot when one uses 'swear' words.  I have been swearin' a lot in these here forums...  Mainly AGAINST the usa.   PHOQUE TRUMP and PHOQUE the usa. This is just me CURSING the existence of this useless nation that it has become.  Nothing more and nothing less...   
    • Maga Florida would become the new crappy Capital of Crappy USA Idiots.  
    • East Coast. West Coast. Northern Border.  Yeah. All of it!!! Canada!!!   East Coast: New York State + Vermont + Maine + New Hampshire + Massachusetts = Canada.   These were all French colonies at first anyway, minus Massachusetts and the lower part of New York.    West Coast: Washington State + Oregon + California = Canada   Because why not???!!!  These states do not want to be part of the shythole country that has become the usa so...they might as well join Canada.  Northern Border States:  Minnesota = Canada    Michigan shall be Canadian BECAUSE Detroit  was founded by a French guy by the name of Cadillac.  Reparations are owed...    Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Arkansas were also founded by the French but they have become such shytehole areas, mainly the reason that america has become such a shytehole country.  america could keep that shyte all to themselves.  Canada will happily have California, Washington State, Oregon and Minnesota instead.  4 states versus 4 states.  Anyway, those Canadian states I proposed to become Canadian, the people living in these states are normal people and they think alike as Canadians do.  Makes perfect sense that these states become Canadian. Oh...we could give you Alberta and Saskatchewan in exchange for New Jersey, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Illinois,  Delaware and Maryland.  New York and New Jersey go hand in hand which also includes Rhode Island.  Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and Massachusetts go hand in hand with Connecticut.  Delaware and Maryland go hand in hand and since District of Columbia will be under Canadian rule when Canada burns down the White House again...   The new usa could have a new capital city somewheres in the shytehole areas of the usa.
