"There's credit out there, and fuel prices have receded to levels we haven't seen in a year, but consumer confidence remains the problem.

Official Release: MINI USA reported November sales of 4,545 automobiles, up 43.1 percent from the 3,177 cars sold in November 2007. Year-to-date, the division reported sales of 50,511 automobiles, an increase of 31.3 percent, compared to the 38,483 cars reported in the first eleven months of 2007. “We’ve seen some slowing in MINI showroom traffic just the same as everyone else in the last month,” said Jim McDowell, Vice-President of MINI USA. “However, we’re still positive about our future sales due to the fact the recent frenzy towards more efficient transportation has introduced more consumers to our brand. This has helped us hit the milestone of 50,000 sales in November, one month sooner than we expected.” Well somebody is doing well. The people love them the MINI!!!!:thumbsup: |

Summary
LeftLaneNews
Chrysler, GM, Toyota, Hyundai report massive sales declines Every major automaker today reported significant U.S. sales declines for the month of November. Worst hit - so far - was Chrysler, down a whopping 47 percent. But Nissan and General Motors weren’t far behind with massive 42 and 41 percent drops, respectively. You might be surprised to hear Hyundai is next on the list, declining 40 percent, and sister company Kia tumbled 37 percent. And even Toyota’s sales slumped by 34 percent. Nissan division reported a 44.4 percent drop, while its Infiniti luxury subsidiary saw a 28 percent drop. Honda reported an overall decline of 32 percent. Mazda sales were down roughly the same amount — 31.3 for the month of November. Ford fared slightly better than much of the competition, reporting a 31 percent decline in sales. Following closely was Daimler, reporting a 30 percent drop in Mercedes-Benz and Smart sales. BMW sales were down 27 percent. Subaru seems to be fairing the best so far - the Japanese automaker’s sales were down just 8 percent and its Forester compact SUV had its best November ever. Mitsubishi sales were down 36 percent to 5,096 units, though the Outlander had its best month in six months. But sometimes it’s important to dig a little deeper into these numbers. For example, BMW brand sales were off a whopping 36.1 percent. Sales of Mini models shot up an amazing 43.1 percent, which helped to improve BMW’s overall figures. Similarly, Mercedes brand sales were actually down 38 percent, offset somewhat by sales of Smart models, which began in the United States in January 2008. Over at the Chrysler camp, sales figures are a mixed bag of bad and worse. Chrysler brand sales collapsed 57 percent, while Dodge was down 44 percent and Jeep 42 percent. Chrysler 300 and Sebring sales fell by 70 percent and 67 percent, respectively. Aspen and Challenger sales were the only good news. Ford was a little more balanced, with the namesake brand declining 30 percent, and Mercury falling a predictable 41.4 percent. Surprisingly, Lincoln sales were down just 8.3 percent, which is definitely a good sign for the luxury brand, which introduced the new MKS sedan this year. Ford’s Volvo subsidiary was the firm’s biggest loser, reporting a 46.5 percent decline. The Toyota and Lexus divisions had comparable declines of 33.8 and 34.7 percent, respectively. Scion sales slumped the most — down 45 percent. Rival Honda was slightly more polarized, with the luxury Acura division posting a 39 percent decline, compared with a 30.6 percent drop for the Honda brand. Data sheets # Chrysler - 85,260 units - down 47 percent # Toyota - 130,307 units - down 34 percent # Honda - 76,233 units - down 31.6 percent # Hyundai - 19,221 units — down 40 percent # Kia - 15,182 units — down 40 percent # Mercedes/Smart - 15,991 units - down 30 percent # Mazda - 14,134 units - down 31.3 percent # Subaru - 13,706 units - down 8 percent # Nissan/Infiniti - 46,605 units - down 42.2 percent |

I find that very hard to believe. (Not doubting you) Maybe one of the few dealers selling cars?
TSX sales are in the toilet as well. |

TSX sales are in the toilet as well. So he walked and he'll likely get an Accord Sedan which I found to be almost as nice as the TSX. I really don't know that I could justify an extra $5-7000 for the TSX over the 4-banger Accord. |

Either your roommate needs to work on his negotiating skills or the dealership needs to work on their sales skills. Either way, there are always other dealerships in the area who would be happy to throw a car at your roommate.

Manufacturer November 2008 November 2007 Percentage Change Chrysler 15,481 18,419 -16.0 Ford 16,109 15,909 +1.3 General Motors 21,261 27,761 -23.4 Acura 914 2,212 -58.7 Audi 737 606 +21.6 BMW 1,833 1,956 -6.3 Honda 8,310 11,464 -27.5 Hyundai 5,563 5,510 +1.0 Infiniti 450 472 -4.7 Jaguar 40 35 +14.3 Kia 2,703 2,765 -2.2 Land Rover 142 169 -16.0 Lexus 1,152 967 +19.1 Mazda 5,024 4,715 +6.6 Mercedes-Benz 1,639 1,434 +14.3 Mini 358 265 +35.1 Mitsubishi 1,287 1,023 +25.8 Nissan 4,479 4,386 +2.1 Porsche 115 114 +0.9 Saab 87 104 -16.3 Smart 177 10 +1,670.0 Subaru 1,473 1,243 +18.5 Suzuki 934 801 +16.6 Toyota 11,640 11,587 +0.5 Volkswagen 2,840 2,903 -2.2 Volvo 473 454 +4.2 Meanwhile BMW and Infiniti were only slightly down and all the other luxury makes were either up or about the same. Lexus up 19%. Then we see Nissan, Mazda and Toyota all slightly up. I get the feeling this market is starting to lose interest in Honda/Acura and this is proving it. The Civic has now lost its monthly sales crown to the Corolla 4 months in a row and is on the verge of losing its yearly sales crown for the first time in 8 Years! Honda failing to adjust prices has hurt them IMO. |
I don't know about other regions, but last time I went to Richmond Acura for service, which wasn't long ago, I only saw a handful of 09 TL's. As for the TSX, they don't have any attractive lease and/or finance programs, unlike other makes.
|
^^^ yep it seems like its all about incentives right now and Acura/Honda don't have them like the other makes.
GM/Chrysler cars especially have ridiculous markdowns in my area and I'm figuring those are being sold at a loss. We'll see when the quarter reports are out who actually made money selling cars. |
Incentives do not explain a 60% drop IMO.

Odd/ Love it or hate it styling however will come back to hurt the bottom line. I think that is where Acura is headed....until it bails out of the horrible beak design, acknowledges the design failures, and turns over a new leaf. |
I'm definitely not discounting Acura's lackluster lineup in the 60% drop, but Acura has always been the value luxury brand that's good at everything but generally not great at anything in particular.
A car buyer can usually find one aspect that they really like that's better in some other car than an Acura. And the decision to buy Acura is usually a compromise centered on overall value. So these incentives from the other manufacturers en masse are hitting Acura right square in the value conscious nuts. |
Hasn't Acura had 1.9% 36 month financing up here for awhile? A quick check of Lexus shows higher rates.

If I was in the market now, I'd probably pick the Lexus ES with the new Canadian price reductions and the 3.9% rate for 48 months. |
In the US, the Acura TL used to always outsell the Lexus ES; but now no more, thanks to the new TL front end styling.

It's not just the TL's new looks, the ES sells on its own merits (which ones, I'm not sure...I don't particularly like the thing) |
I think it's a combination of reasons:
1.) the front grille 2.) lack of cars 3.) lack of incentive programs 4.) People less willing to buy 5.) Major price cut of Lexus Lexus Canada didn't have major price cut until early this year (that's what my friend who bought a IS250 last year told me, he bought it in Oct 2007, before the price cut, then later Lexus readjusted the price). I think other brands were doing the same too, but not Acura. The TSX didn't really get a price cut, Acura simply gave a model with less features, and thus a lower price tag. The TL on the other hand did get a slight price cut, but it's not a big one compared to Lexus (IS250 went from $36k to $31k). Also there are not that many 09 TL's to choose from at the dealers, at least that's true with Richmond Acura. On the other hand, wow, what's up with Nissan..a drop of over 40% in the states. |

I love me some Jody Watley. Did u see the episode of VH1's "I Love the 80s" where Debbie Gibson pulled her face back real tight to stretch her eyes in an effort to show how exotic Watley looked? Anyhoo, the TL outsold the ES up until around the time the ES350 debuted & the TL was 3 years old. Still not a fan of the ES350 interior & the fact that it suffers from Toyota/Lexus's post 2005 cost-cutting that lead to problems in their newer models. |

I was looking at that and realized that a lot of people are STILL buying a lot of american cars.
I still have hope in their cars. :nod: |

I think other brands were doing the same too, but not Acura. The TSX didn't really get a price cut, Acura simply gave a model with less features, and thus a lower price tag. The TL on the other hand did get a slight price cut, but it's not a big one compared to Lexus (IS250 went from $36k to $31k). Also there are not that many 09 TL's to choose from at the dealers, at least that's true with Richmond Acura. On the other hand, wow, what's up with Nissan..a drop of over 40% in the states. I recently tried to get my in-laws and brother in law into new Honda's but there were far better deals to be found elsewhere. Only reason I bought an Ody was the 3K cashback. |
Yea, their prices are quite high. They need more "base" models.
