Recently, we saw a news release from a group of Acura dealers in the northeast that piqued our interest, but not because of the special deal they were offering, but because of the news they were reporting about Acura. It seems that manufacturer is on a roll.
The release stated:
- In 2009, Acura was the only automaker to receive the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) 5-star crash safety ratings for all of its models.
- In 2009, Acura also was the first car company ever to receive the Top Safety Picks from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) for each of its cars and SUVs.
- ALG, an auto industry analyst firm, announced that Acura topped its 2010 Residual Value Award list for luxury brands.
Additionally, Acura has posted sales increases in February and March this year. The company notes that the fresh look of the 2010 MDX and RDX, the new ZDX four-door sports coupe, and the new SH-AWD 6MT model of the TL luxury sedan are some of the cars “hitting a sweet spot with buyers.”
