Acura Celebrates Milestone: Tops Two Million Vehicles Sold

TORRANCE, Calif., July 24 -- Spurred by record sales and the strongest lineup in the division's 16-year history, Acura reached a major milestone: two million vehicles sold since it first started business in the U.S. in March 1986. Led by the hot-selling 3.2 TL luxury performance sedan, racy RSX sports coupe, and Acura's award-winning MDX luxury sport utility vehicle, Acura achieved this impressive accomplishment in July.

"Acura sold its first million vehicles in record time and the second million came even quicker," said Dick Colliver, executive vice president of automobile sales. "We've introduced a totally freshened lineup in the last two years and this sales milestone speaks directly to the strength of our products and an excellent dealer network."

Acura was the first Japanese luxury nameplate to enter the U.S. market in March 1986. From two vehicles when the division launched, Acura's lineup of luxury performance automobiles has grown to include the 3.2 TL, RSX and MDX, as well as the flagship 3.5 RL luxury sedan, 3.2 CL luxury performance coupe, and the exotic NSX supercar.
