Followed by the TL with sales of 1,592, down 19.8 percent

http://www.vtec.net/news/news-item?news_item_id=955400


Acura Division posted January sales of 7,961, an increase of 11.6 percent versus January 2010, marking the division's 12th straight month of double-digit sales increases. The MDX was the top-selling Acura model for the month with sales of 3,127, up 32.6 percent. Acura TSX sales totaled 1,941, up 7.5 percent, followed by the TL with sales of 1,592, down 19.8 percent.


maybe holding off until the 2012?

at least the ZDX is holding its own at sales of 148

2011 will be a short model year. Aren't the 12s coming in March-April?

I don't think enough people even know that the 2012's will be out in March / April to impact the sales.

My 2 cents - could be off target.

Acura could also be ramping down TL production in anticipation of the soon to be released 2012....just an idea.

Colin,

How many '11 TLs does Acura anticipate would be sold? They did release any figures to you guys?

Not exactly making big news. Even the mainstream magazines have not reported it. You have to be looking for news of the 2012 to find it.

It doesn't matter if they did ramp down production. Reported sales are to retail buyers. The dealers lots are full of TL's, so even if they ramped down production it would not have effected sales yet.

I've seen the spy spots in quite a few places, actually. Also, what else do they have to show besides the same camo-ed car? Not much news to report on.

Wait until it's actually released, then they will have something to report about

ZDX sales are simply rotten, worse than even the RL.

It may depend on where you live. My dealer, which normally carries 50-75 TLs, is showing only 30 total in stock. If a buyer wants a particular color/type/tech/wheel package, etc., they're going to have a harder time finding it.
