Record December Makes 2003 Best Year in Acura History

Torrance, Calif. 01/05/2004 --

A record December, driven by strong sales of the TL performance luxury sedan and the MDX luxury SUV, gave Acura a new all-time yearly sales record for 2003. Year-end Acura sales of 170,918 finished up 3.2 percent from 2002, and eclipsed the previous year-end sales record of 170,469 set in 2001.

"We made some key additions to our lineup this year like the new 2004 TSX sports sedan and the TL performance luxury sedan," said **** Colliver, executive vice president, sales. "Strong demand for those two models, as well as record sales of the MDX, pushed Acura sales to a new all-time high."

December Acura sales of 15,537 were up 21 percent compared to last year, and shattered the previous December record of 14,663 set in 2001.

For the third straight month, the TL performance luxury sedan was Acura's top-selling model with December sales of 5,853, up 40.2 percent over last year and besting the previous December record of 5,723 set in 2001.

The MDX luxury SUV, the division's top-seller for seven months in 2003, tallied 5,788 units in December, surpassing the previous biggest sales month ever (5,633 in May 2002) and setting a new record for the year of 57,281, up 8.2 percent over 2002.

The TSX sports sedan, recently named to Car & Driver magazine's 10 Best Cars list, registered 1,851 sales, pushing year-to-date sales to 18,932 and exceeding the 2003 sales goal by more than 25 percent.

Thanks to people like us who bought in 2003!

 

I did my part to boost Acura's December sales!

Yaaayyy me! :bowdown: Go ¿GJ?, GO!

¿GotJazz?

 

I got both the TL and MDX in Dec. It was the MDX purchase that led me to the TL...I wasn't even in the market, but ultimately had to have the TL. Had to beg a salesman for the last brochure in the house in order to sell the wife (on the deal). Would have sold her had she balked.

 

Congrats acura.....they should keep breaking records as the year go.

 

I told you Acura had a hit on its hands. I don't think the numbers include many 2003s by now, though I've seen a couple of noobs on the 2G TL board whho recently bought '03s.

 

that makes me feel even better about the price i got. i'm surprised they're willing to deal so much.
