About time Acura renamed its cars Integra and Legend. Once again.

And changed that HORRENDOUS, SMIRKING grill front face. HIDEOUS.

Actually Acura did very well this month considering the market. While other auto makers were down just slightly or reporting gains, they were deep in the red. Now that all other automakers are down 20-30 +/- a few percent, you would expect Acura to continually show figures that are far below everyone else. If you factor in the market and lets say add 20-30% to everyones figures, Acura actually improved. Good job Acura. Maybe its the TSX. There product lineup sucks.

Toyota is doing worse than Honda/Acura and Hyundai.
