TL Leads December Sales While All-New ZDX Hits Showrooms

TORRANCE, Calif. - Jan 05 —Acura?s TL performance luxury sedan led December sales with 3,167 units sold, closely followed by TSX sports sedan sales of 2,926, up an impressive 17.9 percent. Strong sales of light trucks helped Acura achieve December sales of 10,575 units, a decrease of 8.1 percent based on the daily selling rate*. Acura year-to-date sales** reached 105,723, down 26.8 percent compared to 2008.

?The TL performance luxury sedan is gaining traction in the marketplace thanks to the availability of Super Handling All-Wheel Drive and an all-new 6-speed manual transmission model,? said Jeff Conrad, vice president of Acura sales. ?The TL has long been Acura?s best selling sedan and December sales proved that the TL offers a great combination of performance, luxury, innovation and safety.?

December marked the launch of Acura?s all-new ZDX four-door sports coupe that began hitting dealerships mid month. While production slowly ramped up in December, 79 ZDX were sold in just a few days of sales. The MDX luxury SUV again led Acura light truck sales with 2,899 units (down 20.4 percent*), followed by RDX sales of 1,283 (up 4.4 percent*). Total Acura light truck sales tallied 4,261 for December (down 12.5 percent) while Acura car sales totaled 6,314 (down 4.8 percent).
