Subaru and Honda set all-time single-month U.S. sales records in August
Honda sold 44,235 CR-Vs
While the U.S. and Japan continue to hash out the details for a new trade deal, American customers showed just how much they love Japanese automobiles. Both Honda America and Subaru of America exceeded expectations in August and set all-time sales records for units moved in a single month. The booming business was led, in part, by the Honda CR-V and Subaru Crosstrek, both of which posted their best sales months ever.
For Subaru, August 2019 marked the best sales month in company history and a claimed 93 straight months of yearly, month-over-month growth. Subaru sold 70,039 vehicles, which beats the December 2018 record of 64,541 vehicles. Top sellers were the Outback (17,110), the Forester (17,076), and the Crosstrek (15,860). The Ascent notably saw a 72.8 percent increase in sales compared to August 2018 with 7,319 sold.
Honda America, which includes Honda and Acura, sold 173,993 total vehicles, 158,804 of which were Hondas. That's up from 147,903 total sales in August 2018. Honda achieved these numbers with strong sales across its lineup, despite the less consumer interest in sedans in general. In August 2019, Honda sold 44,235 CR-Vs (the most ever in a single month) 14,381 Pilots, 10,190 Odysseys, 34,808 Civics, and 30,558 Accords. Acura's SUVs continue to be the company's best-sellers with 5,976 MDXs sold and 5,459 RDXs moved.

There has been a stop sale on X1s for much of 2019, which is why sales are so low this year.
The arrival of the new Q3 was delayed for many months, and there were no Q3s available to buy for many months. This is why Q3 sales are so low this year.

The RX line is very successful and can't think of anything to improve it. There are already a 2 row and 3 row RX and F Sport versions. Maybe introduce an electric version of the RX such as the RX 400e...but how many people will actually purchase an electric RX because of the range? I think the hybrid RX is just fine the way it is.

if lexus introduced an electric version of the rx, i believe it would help sales of all versions of the rx and lexus and all its models, because it would show innovation.

I'm not sure about the electric part, but I think a more competitive 3rd row space would be the logical next step to further grow RX sales.

But King Camry was the king of sedans. *in before Honda fans counter that King Accord is the retail king of sedans.
Seriously though, I can't see anything over these crossovers. Not trying to get a crossover to replace my current Camry dd, but I might just go that route.

Lexus should also bring in a 2 row GX as well which would be at a lower price point and have more cargo room than the 3 row GX. This would also increase sales as well. F Sport the GX as well...and bring in Android Auto and more USB's
