Those numbers are hilarious. The only vehicles that aren't new (RDX, CR-V, Fit) and posted an increase are both about to be dead, the RSX and Insight

The Accord tanked badly, though last August was amazing.

I think that last August was just really good. 34.5k is actually better than average for the Accord.

It's also interesting to note that at the 6-month point, the Accord was ahead of the Camry in retail sales by 6k units: http://fleet-central.com/af/t_pop_pdf.cfm?...06/cars_web.pdf
