"The Shield"
I thought about putting this in the sales reports section however its more to do with the car design changes for this TL (and the TSX). Seems to me people are voting on Acura's designs with their feet, and wallets. The following really stands out in the list to the point of being shocking.
November 2008 Acura sales 914, November 2007, 2,212, down 58.7%. Overall, light vehicle sales dropped 10.3% Nov '08 vs. '07. In comparison, GM down 23.4%, competitors Audi up 21.6% and BMW down 6.3%.
