process, according to figures released today by American Honda Motor, Co.,
Inc.<p>Total American Honda August sales of 137,273 were up 12.9 percent from
last year and broke the previous monthly record of 117,768 set in August 2000.<p>Other all-time sales records include:
<ul><li>Total American Honda car sales of 95,868, up 3.4 percent from last year
and breaking the previous record of 91,587 set in August 1997;<li>Total American Honda truck sales of 41,405, up 43.2 percent from last

year closeouts, low interest rates and other industry incentives," said Dick
Colliver American Honda executive vice president. "With the all-new 2003
Accords going on sale Sept. 9, Honda dealers were particularly aggressive in
selling off '02 Accords. Couple that with the continued strong demand for

ingredients for an all-time record sales month."<p>Year-to-date American Honda sales of 844,518 are running 2.2 percent ahead

So if I'm reading that correctly, sales of the CL are down, way down and the hope of them continuing a line of cars that continues to sell poorly can't be good.

RSX sales went down compared to last year too. Was 8/01 the first month or so the RSX was in production?

We all admit the CL not going to sell like the TL. No couple does as well as it's 4dr counterpart.
However, I still think if Acura can sell 1000 CLs a month, they're doing fine. That's 12,000 a year. Not bad...
