The bulk of Acura's sales is the 33K TL and 35K MDX.
MB is relying on E-Class sedans that start at 50K.

Since Acura started selling cars in 1989 and Mercedes had a huge head start, it's still impressive nonetheless.

1986, actually.

The reason why Acura is outselling MB? Bad weather in northeast area I think? (FWD > RWD in snow)

Simply a statement of fact.

Apples and Oranges - sure, but still the numbers don't lie. Acura is selling more, and Mercedes is selling less. Bottom Line.

1986, actually.
You're right - I was thinking of Lexus.

Yeah, Acura should always be the best seller, they are the cheapest. With the new cheap RDX coming, they should be able to be #1.

Though what a pun that would be.

Sad about Benz, but yeah, they got such expensive cars, they probably profit more from.
