Sorry I couldn't find the sales figures for individual models from Audi and Jaguar, and there are a lot of other vehicles I can't list them all here. By the way, I found these info from www.theautochannel.com, you can go see yourself. There might also be some mistakes.

Interesting, CL sales at 911 in March, isn't that a big jump from 645 I thought I read for a recent month (Feb?)
I can't believe they sold 550 RL's either. Overall Acura did well.
I can't believe more people don't buy the MDX compared to the Lexus RX300 SUV, is the MDX a lot more $$?

I think the RX300 is around 33K starting price, MDX is a couple thousand above that. But who wants an RX300? Besides females? HA. IMO, the Infiniti QX4 beats them both.

The MSRP for the RX300 starts at about $37,500 including the standard options which you will find on every one available. The MDX is a bit higher but not much with the same options. An RX300 with Xenon lamps and heated seats would be equivalent, option wise, to a non-Nav MDX; both come in just shy of $40k. But this is excluding the AWD aspect. Add AWD to the RX300 and it goes just above the MDX in price.

However, the Acura dealers will hardly negotiate on the MDX price, most won't. But with the RX330 being released Lexus wants to move all remaining RX300 inventory so they are discounting heavily; on the order of $5000 - $7000 off of MSRP.

We just purchased last saturday a Black/Black RX300 (with spoiler, Xenon and heated seats) for $34k. We should be picking it up tomorrow...

It was, from like 600 last month. Must be some aggressive pricing. I've noticed alot of new members who've just purchased.
