I wouldn't say it's a sales flop just yet, give it a few months to see where it trends instead of concluding it's a flop after a month and half of sales.. plus it'll be interesting to see what happens when they put Honda's new ED engines and transmissions into the ILX. What's amazing to me is that they sold 1,080 cars for a vehicle with a 5-speed auto that has 150/110hp that starts in the upper 20k range lol.

Do you guys live for our sales threads? Its going to flop, there is tons of inventory and the car is built up the street so its not like we are waiting for the car from Japan. This "ED is savior" doesn't fly. If anything that has been proven, cars need to debut with the new engines as consumers don't really track new engines in a cars life cycle. Its 2012 and badged a luxury car, it should have never debuted with a 5 speed auto from the 1990s in the first place.

Your logic doesn't work b/c the RDX is also new and selling fine. So how come the ILX now gets excuses? They both are new. The RDX has been very well received by consumers.

The ILX will get a sales boost to about 2k I feel but not come close to 40k sales as they want. The RDX should blow past the 30k goal they stated. People simply buy SUVs.

Tons of great data there on transaction prices and incentives.

Phil2005

The problem for the ILX is that it's too close to the TSX, why pay money for a car with 150hp when you can pay an extra 1 or 2k and get a larger car with 201hp that looks better. As long as the TSX exist, Acura won't put in a 6 speed auto or a good engine/transmission in the ILX in order to seperate the 2 models.

LexFather

Yup...you can get a special edition TSX for the price of a ILX with options at 31k before discounting/barganing. The TSX is vastly superior. I did just see ads on TV though for $259 lease for a ILX from Acura which should help sales this month. But its still a terrible value for the money.

Contrarily the Buick Verano sold like hotcakes, 4,091 last month.

Mazda SkyActiv Tech Exceeds Sales Expectations

Mazda North American Operations (MNAO) today reported June U.S. sales of 19,911 vehicles, representing an increase of 3.1 percent versus last year. Year-to-date sales through June are up 17.5 percent (16.0 percent DSR) versus last year, with 143,797 vehicles sold.

Key June sales notes:

In response to global demand far outstripping expectations for Mazda's SKYACTIV® TECHNOLOGY, Mazda Motor Corporation has announced it will double production capacity of the state-of-the-art powertrain at its engine plant in Hiroshima, Japan.

In the U.S., Mazda's total SKYACTIV® TECHNOLOGY vehicle sales for June (comprised of CX-5 and certain models of Mazda3) account for 55 percent of the company's total sales for the month.

Mazda3 had its best June since 2008 with 8,835 vehicles sold. In particular, the SKYACTIV-equipped model represented 73.6 percent of Mazda3 vehicles sold for the month.

The all-new 2013 Mazda CX-5 is proving to be a popular choice as the award-winning compact crossover SUV remains one of the fastest-turning vehicles in the industry, with many dealers reporting more customers than inventory. In its fourth full month of sales, 4,551 CX-5s were sold in June, representing a 15.0 percent increase from last month.

As summer heats up, the Mazda MX-5 had its best June since 2008 with 659 vehicles sold.

Mazda Motor de Mexico (MMdM) reported June sales of 2,084 vehicles, up 5.0 percent versus June of last year.

Mazda North American Operations is headquartered in Irvine, Calif., and oversees the sales, marketing, parts and customer service support of Mazda vehicles in the United States and Mexico through more than 700 dealers. Operations in Mexico are managed by Mazda Motor de Mexico in Mexico City.

Some nice sales.

Wondering how much fleet sales are affecting the actual sales, wish they would provide that along with the total sales.

A lot of new models in the hotly competitive segments coming out within the next few months, going to be exciting.

Guy Legend

Such a failure that it's one of the fast selling cars in the industry.

spwolf

well, while I think sick often is too hard on Acura, what you are showing is from May, when ILX just started coming in... right now, there are more ILXs in stock than CT200h's. Like 40% more. And it sold 25% less. Despite the price and the fact it is sedan.
