REALLY? Acura Claims TLX Has Vaulted Brand To Same Level As The Germans

With two full months of sales data behind it, Acura says the new TLX midsize sedan is beginning to fulfill its promise of reviving the luxury brand, whose U.S. sales and image have sagged in recent years.

Acura sold 4,890 units of the TLX in October, making it No. 2 in Acura's lineup, not far behind the MDX seven-seat crossover. October's sales were up 26 percent from September, the first full month of sales for the TLX, which reached showrooms in late August. Dealers say the car's driving characteristics are helping to lure shoppers from brands such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW.
