Replying to: pat (Feb 08, 2007 11:14 am) "I'm looking forward to seeing your file when you get it posted."   Yes- me too. I'm sure that info would be helpful to all those who are in the market.   "Okay, let's get clear here - you need to drop the personal insinuations. They are inappropriate and rude and do not belong here. (ggesq, leave it be...) "   OK.... .....

Replying to: maxman (Feb 08, 2007 10:47 am) "This guy is having major translation issues regarding direct to customer incentives and dealer incentives, and he missed the complete point of the posting which was that it is very rare for a import brand manufactures to slap any incentive on a vehicle the 1st month of the year esp. when they have just upgraded the model."   maxman- ok. I totally agree that customer incentives and dealer incentives are two entirely different things. I just think that the dealer incentives that you are referring to do not exist.   Let's assume for a second that what your saying is true i.e. Acura is giving its dealers an incentive. I still would not find it "rare" for Acura to do that. Consider the factors: The 07 is a MMC. No major changes- just a few upgrades. The TL's competitors have introduced the all new G, the BMW (e90 & e92), and the IS. All of them outpower, outperform and surpass the TL in luxury offerings e.g. one touch start button, ventilated seats, swiveling headlights....Basically, the competition is stiff. The TL still sells great for Acura but its sales are down compared to last year. Offering an incentive to remain competitive is not outrageous.   Consider the (new) 2007 Altima- just came out and Nissan is offering a modest $500 bucks for college grads. This model was just introduced as completely new. The Acura is working on 4 years. Nothing too peculiar (or rare) going on.... Replies to this message: pat (Feb 08, 2007 4:02 pm)

Forbes reported the Acura TL as the 3rd best selling Luxury vehicle in 2006. It beat out the Infiniti G35, Lexus IS350 and several others. That includes all luxury cars not just ELLPS. Replies to this message: hauss (Feb 27, 2007 9:51 pm)

Replying to: hauss (Feb 27, 2007 9:45 pm) My bad folks...it was 4th. In 2005 it was 3rd. But still that's pretty good considering all the offerings from car makers like Lexus, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Cadiliac, Infiniti, Audi, Volvo, etc. It's sales might have declined a bit but it's still a top seller.
