“We made some important strides in sales during October,” said Dick Colliver, executive vice president, sales. “We think November and December should be big months for us, especially with the all-new MDX and TL Type-S models available at dealerships.”
Continuing its impressive start, 1,701 RDX’s were purchased during the new model’s second complete month of sales. Meanwhile, MDX posted 4,429 units sold during October, an increase of 6.4 percent over a year ago, bringing its year-to-date total to 41,808.
The TSX sports sedan continued its brisk pace in 2006 with 2,209 units sold in October, bumping year-to-date TSX sales to 32,046 – up 4.9 percent versus 2005.
Bolstered by sales of the recently reintroduced Type-S, the TL performance luxury sedan maintained its position as the top-selling Acura model, with 5,790 units sold in October, bringing combined year-to-date sales of the model to 60,064.
