TSX going strong. Although is very discouraging when all but 3 Honda/Acura models (TL, TSX, Pilot) have shown negative sales for the month. Weird that the new S2000 which is supposedley better in every way is so far down on sales compared to last years model

Its interesting to see the Ody still sell well considering a new one is just down the horizon. The TSX and TL are both selling great, which is nice to see. Acura really seems to be doing well and the new RL looks like another winner fro Acura.
However, the Honda side doesn't have a great line-up in cars compared to Toyota IMO. They really need to do something about the ugly Accord and aging Civic, looks like sales are cooling off on both bread and butter cars, especially the Accord.

We'll never find model specific sales number for Canada.
But I've seen about 10 or so on the roads so I think there selling OK. I'm still not sold on the styling (especially the int) and the weird configurations they're sold in have me wondering. You can only get the XE and SE AWD models with a MT If you want an AWD model in Auto you have to move up to the LE model that costs $33K ? Thats the only AWD/Auto model you can get. I'm thinking thats a big mistake as most Cute ute owners would want an Autobox.

Has anyone else noticed this:

MDX 4767 4604 -.3%
Looks like a positive % change to me...
Also, I may be doing the math wrong, but all of the percentages look wrong to me. Can anyone confirm?

I believe the difference comes in selling days. There were 26 selling days in July 03 to 27 this year. So percentage wise they maybe should have sold more.
