Acura Sets Sales Record For Fourth Straight Month

Continuing its record-breaking streak for the fourth consecutive month, Acura posted February sales of 15,155 vehicles, shattering the previous record of 13,677 set in February 2001 and ending the month up 33.8 percent compared to last year, the division announced today. Year-to-date Acura sales rose to 28,286, up 29.4 percent compared to last year.

The TL performance luxury sedan and MDX luxury SUV both set new February records. The TL, Acura's top selling vehicle for the past five months, sold 6,274 units and beat the existing record of 5,878 set in February 2001. Compared to the same month last year, TL sales increased 57.6 percent. The popular MDX set a new February record of 4,929 units, an increase of 9.2 percent versus a year ago.

"Demand for the new TL sedan is stronger than ever," said Dick Colliver, executive vice president, sales. "The all-new car is doing an excellent job of attracting new buyers to Acura."

The hot-selling TSX sports sedan also continues to perform above forecast with sales of 1,959 units.
