Actually, the fit has stayed pretty steady at that 5K level for a few months now. CR-V and Civic are doing well, though...the Civic seems to be doing much better compared to what it was doing when it was first released.

CRV is ugly overpriced underpowered garbage. not sure why it is selling so well. Hopefully the vue starts gouging into it soon.

they have more models that are in decline than increasing.

the RL, oh yeah, THAT's a success, NOT.

I'm not a CRV fan, either, but its not a piece of garbage....

Keep in mind that the Accord appears in the fall and then each of its derivatives follow in a strong product cadence...

TL, TSX, Pilot, Odyssey all benefit directly from the Accord's engineering. Honda is basically capacity restrained as it is, I wouldn't put too much credence in monthly sales charts when they tend to tweak promotions regionally to recover from weakening model performance.

Overall sales increased, which is what matters, as flexible factories can change production to different models when needed.

You're still stuck on the RL? It's been two years now of lackluster sales, I don't think anybody is calling it a success. They don't even mention it in the Acura press release.

It is nice to see Acura sales on the increase. It looks like the RDX, if anything, plugged the sales hole left by the RSX.

face it, we all know who the dumb consumers are that are buying / overspending on them.

its mostly women, or guys p-whipped by the women that own them and dictate they buy them. chances are also that same group is either militant letsbefriend or at a minimum not very appreciative of men in general. probably as a whole very soft politically. would rather save a tree than....well, i won't go there.

MY GOD at least buy a rav4 if you're gonna by a japanese cute ute.
