NSX sold out in 24hours. with waiting lists now. I think Acura should raise the production to last 1000 NSX.

  • Honda trucks persevere with all-time best month for Passport; HR-V posts all-time best September & Q3
  • Sales of Honda electrified vehicles set new annual sales mark during Q3; Insight sets September record
  • Acura TLX drives brand to best Q3 sedan sales since 2017; Type S boosts sales and showroom traffic
  • Acura RDX posts best September and Q3 since 2018 as limited inventory restrains sales of hot MDX flagship

The enduring nature of the microchip shortage and port congestion issues continue to constrain the entire industry, but we are encouraged by the record sales of Honda models where we have adequate inventory,” said Dave Gardner, executive vice president of National Operations at American Honda. “We appreciate the patience of our customers as our associates, our suppliers and our dealers continue working to supply Honda and Acura products to meet their needs.”





BRAND REPORT

Sales Highlights

Despite ongoing, industrywide supply issues that slowed September sales, Honda posted solid 3rd quarter sales results led by strong demand for light trucks. Sales of the red-hot Civic Sedan limited only by single-digit days supply.
  • HR-V and Passport post all-time best sales in all three quarters in 2021; while Pilot posts its best third quarter since 2018.
  • CR-V Hybrid remains strong while supply issues constrain petrol model.
  • Sales of Honda electrified vehicles set a new annual sales mark (82,446) during third quarter; Insight hybrid sedan set a September sales record.
  • Civic Hatchback went on-sale in late September, to further bolster the Civic lineup, with first-ever U.S. production (Indiana) to boost sales volume.
Model Notes
All-new 2022 Honda Civic continues to set the standard for small car safety with the highest possible rating from IIHS: TOP SAFETY PICK+.


The refreshed ‘22 Passport launching later this year, demonstrates its true off-road capability with a more rugged exterior design and a new TrailSport edition, the new halo for Honda light trucks.



BRAND REPORT

Sales Highlights

Acura continued to weather supply issues with a solid 3rd quarter led by higher sedan sales to stay on track for an annual sales increase in 2021.
  • Bolstered by the all-new Type S variant, Acura TLX sales (1,952) notch best September since 2018 and best third quarter since 2016.
  • RDX withstands supply issues to sport best September sales since 2018 (4,915) and best third quarter since 2018; all-new 2022 MDX remains in high demand, but supply issues related to microchip issue slow sales.
Model Notes
With a quieter cabin and retuned suspension, the restyled ‘22 Acura RDX arriving in November is the most dynamic, comfortable and refined 5-passenger Acura SUV ever.


2022 NSX Type S is the most powerful and best performing NSX ever and the ultimate expression of Precision Crafted Performance.

HMG not only outsold Honda by a good margin for the 3Q, also had a higher ATP and lower incentive spending (by about $500), which was even lower than Subaru, which usually has the lowest.

For August, the TLX was the slowest selling model in 4 states, including the important NY market.

^ Who cares?

HMG likely makes more profit selling one Grandeur or K8 than Honda does selling 7-8 Kei cars.

Speaking of profit/margins...

July ATP (KBB) -

Acura - $45,702
Lexus - $51,490

Infiniti - $52,227

Genesis - $60,096

Audi - $59,704
BMW - $59,378
Mercedes - $68,748
Volvo - $55,756

So, which one is the budget lux brand again? Lol

Acura sold out $200K NSX production in a day and selling 20 per month. which one has bigger ATP?
Acura MDX Type S still not there. Acura ATP will go much higher as more models with new engines come. RDX still not have Type S.
Genesis has no brand identity. thats why it selling it with 10 year warranties, free maintainance, At home serivice which cost thousands more in Acura.

^ So?

(It took you that long to come up with that pathetic argument? Lol)

Collectors/speculators are snapping up special editions of supercars, esp. as the reign of ICE is in sight.

Heck, even the Lincoln Continental coach door edition sold out, twice (that didn't change its demise or that of the MKZ).

That doesn't change the fact the regular NSX had to have big discounts to help move them, unlike for the Ford GT, where Ford had to take measures so that speculators wouldn't be able to immediately flip them for profit.

Also doesn't change the fact that the 2G NSX has been a $-loser for Honda (just like how the LFA was a $-loser for Toyota) and did little to elevate the rest of the lineup.

The fact remains that Acura remains at the bottom when it comes to ATP among the lux brands and that its ATP is halfway between mainstream brands like Honda and Hyundai and lux brands like BMW, Audi and Genesis.

how is NSX loser when every PMC edition of Acura sold out at far higher prices than regular vehicles. PMC is product of NSX.
The fact is Acura is fastest selling super car brand and no one can touch it.
The fact is Acura gives you standardized vehicles and older engine tech at higher prices than one else. this make it higher brand identity as people still willing to pay for it.
Hyunda and Genesis has to contantly increase models and keep making changes to keep them afloat.

Wouldn't say this is a superficial take like pretty much all your takes,but this wasn't much of a take at all, but sloppy and inaccurate regurgitation.

1st of, Hyundai has diversified its battery suppliers, in addition to investing in battery start-ups for solid-state, etc.

2nd, CATL LFP batteries are cheaper and automakers are buying the batteries from CATL or licensing them to use them in lower end EVs, including Tesla which will use them in standard range models.

3rd, Hyundai Mobis is licensing the cell-to-pack tech to manufacture cells not only for Hyundai, but other manufacturers.

4th, don't think SK, LG ES or Samsung SDI are too worried - they all are building cell plants with BMW, GM, Stellantis, etc. and are developing their own future battery tech.

For instance, SK is working with Solid Power on solid state batteries - a venture backed by BMW, Ford and Hyundai.

But getting back to the topic of the thread - H/G had a higher ATP and lower incentive spending for the month than H/A.

Not only have Genesis sales have hit 50% of Acura sales here, but Genesis in Korea (11,528) outsold Acura (10,055).

Every Odyssey for the past several generations has had a loong list of recalls, including for things which are not minor.


Acura has only two models TLX and RDX in inventory compared to 5 models of Genesis.
new chip factory in Japan will make the chip shortage goes away.
And yet, the 2nd best selling Acura model was the MDX (funny how that happened when Acura didn't have inventory).

Every automaker is hurting for inventory, but despite that, HMG should finish the year 25k+ in volume ahead of Honda/Acura.

Hyundai, again, had lower incentive spending and higher ATP than Honda.

Also racking up the major auto awards...

Add this recall to the list. There's been a lot of concerns about quality control on MOST of Acura's line-up about misaligned panels and large gaps. It's a common brought up issues here on Acurazine (RDX forums). So much for precision crafted bullshit. A brain dead engineer here keeps bragging about Acura / Hondas earth shattering engineering, yet they can't align body panels correctly.

Honda Recalls 725k Vehicles For Hoods Could That Could Open At Speed

https://www.motor1.com/news/552371/honda-hood-latch-recall/

The problem doesn't lie with hardware, per se. Honda says the gap between the closed hood and grille on these models could be a bit too large, preventing full contact between the hood and a rubber seal. That allows more airflow, which can increase vibrations between the surfaces. Over time, the excessive movement could add stress to the hood striker or possibly the hood, which could lead to a failure of the latch. At even modest speed, the airflow would likely flip the hood up, causing damage in a best-case scenario. Of course, the lack of visibility should that happen could lead to a whole different set of problems.

Translation - it's not like Honda's engineers were smart enough to find workarounds to regulations, they were just dumb enough to not know how to design a hood latch properly.

I am curious how much of the 45% drop in TLX sales from 2020 to 2021 is the result of chip shortage and how much of it is because the car just sucks

"All things considered, we had a very successful 2021 with record sales of light trucks and electrified vehicles coupled with incredible demand, especially for all-new models like the Civic and Acura MDX," said Dave Gardner, executive vice president of National Operations at American Honda. "While we're not out of the woods yet with supply issues or the global pandemic, I thank our procurement and production team, suppliers, and dealers for braving the difficult obstacles to get products to our customers at this unprecedented time."



BRAND REPORT
Sales Highlights

Achieving balanced sales unique in the industry, Honda overcame supply issues to post record light truck sales of over 800,000 units, record electrified vehicles sales topping 100,000 units, and passenger car sales of nearly 500,000 units.
  • HR-V and Passport post all-time annual sales records, Pilot posts 4th best annual sales, and Ridgeline achieves best annual sales since 2007
  • Best-ever annual sales of Honda electrified vehicles led by record sales of CR-V Hybrid (over 56,000 units) and Accord Hybrid (over 28,500 units)
  • Civic remains red hot with all-new Hatchback up over 55% in December
Model Notes
Ridgeline and Passport kicked off a new rugged design direction to better reflect true off-road abilities of Honda light trucks.


On the heels of the 11th-gen 2022 Civic Sedan, Si and Hatchback, the all-new Civic Type R will arrive this year as the best performing Civic ever.

  • RDX tops 57,000 units on strength of refreshed ’22 model and PMC Edition

Seems to be the latter...

there are not many TLX on sales let alone make it to 196 days. why you bring such irrelevant data that has nothing to do with reality
how many 3.0T TLX type S you can find used?
catestrophic price drop for G80 new car. where that G90 end up?. essentially a ghetto car. bargain bas3ment brand will always give you bigger engine and more features with at home service and free maintenance.

trolling?. The pictures are right on your eyes to see.
That was Japanese import with 20 year old engine and platform. or you not understand things get older?. Honda V6 still use timing belt. only Honda brand identity can do it.

^ Higher ATP and lower incentive spending for Hyundai/Genesis in comparison to Honda/Acura.

And that gap only gets larger when comparing just Genesis to Acura - which many consider a premium brand and not a luxury brand like Genesis. Lol

Genesis US sales are also approaching 50% of Acura; in a few years, should be up to around 75-80%.

When the GV90 launches, Genesis will have 3 models priced higher than the MDX, 2 of them significantly higher.

Acura is a non-entity at the higher end of the luxury market.

Go to a Acura dealer ask for extended 10 year power train warranty. let see how much they charge you. or 3 year maintainance.
Your Genesis prices are joke. they are just giving bigger engines like 2.5 instead of 2 and 3.5 instead of 3. and still used prices less than Acura.
Only Acura can hold value long term.

It is practically the only brand that what is put as sticker has to be reduced massively. less than 3000 mile driven. People actually drive Acura while Genesis floating among dealerships. with G90 and G80 can only be found in ghettos.

Genesis simply crushes Acura when it comes to ATP (not to mention lower incentive spending) and that will only increase with the addition of the Electrified GV70, G80, the new G90 and the GV90.

Genesis is seen as a legitimate competitor to the RWD Germans, whereas Acura is still seen by many as Honda+
- which isn't necessarily a bad thing as Honda's core lineup is among the best, in particular the Civic and Accord; but then that raises the question if paying more for the TLX and ILX is worth it, esp the ILX.

Each time you come to his thread. prepare to get embrassed. so 10 years warranty not enough. so Genesis need electric to take advantage of Tax rebate.
why Genesis owner has such low opinion about there cars. that even with half mileage they are selling for much less than TLX. or Genesis owners born losers.

Honda passport is quieter than Ioniq 5 by a wide margin. how worthless and unrefined Hyundai tech is compared to 15 year old Honda Tech.

Move Over Initial D, Acura Announces New Anime Series Streaming From January 20

BY Sam D. Smith | Posted on January 18, 2022 2 A couple of weeks ago, we were happy to see Toyota embrace the AE86’s anime fame with a series of Initial D-inspired commercials for the GR86. If anything, they left car fans around the world clamoring for some more illustrated adventures within the Initial D universe.

But it appears that Acura may end up overshadowing the marketing efforts of Toyota’s department, as a sixteen-second teaser trailer for “Type S: Chiaki’s Journey” was released on
View this post on Instagram

Details as yet are few and far between, so let’s not get ahead of ourselves too much. A project funded by Honda/Acura, bearing the name of its product line, is almost guaranteed to be a rolling advertisement for whatever products need pushing. But that’s not to say it’s destined to be an uninspired spiel of product placement. When done right, a manufacturer-sponsored web series can be enjoyable — look no further than BMW’s “The Hire” series starring Clive Owen.

Plus, after Initial D, automotive-themed anime series have been few and far between. Aside from Wangan Midnight, there’s not much else out there, although the Initial D spin-off, M F Ghost, is set to make the jump from
sometime next year.

So what can we expect from the new series? From the opening card, we can see female protagonist, Chiaki, leaning against an Integra DC2 Type R. We then see her racing an Acura NSX Type S against a fictional supercar of some sort.

If you think the track looks familiar, it’s because the event is the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach. So far, so on-brand, as it’s the track where the 2022 NSX Type S
holds the production car record.

The voice-over mentions that “when it comes to racing, respect is earned,” which is gives us some strong “The Fast And The Furious” vibes. The trailer is over as fast as it begins, but not before we see a PIT maneuver performed on the NSX and a very Initial D-inspired shot of the hybrid motor and cylinders firing into action.

We won’t have long to wait to see how it turns out, as the series will begin streaming on January 20, 2022.

$20 bucks says they're going to have the Integra drift.

At least now we know Acura thinks their target customers are a bunch of weebs.
