The Honda Accord has Camry schadenfreude written all over it. With a 41% increase, and 22k units sold, the Accord is off to a likely win in the passenger car sweepstakes of 2010. The Civic didn’t ride the updraft nearly as well, with a modest 5% lift. The Insight’s 2k units continue to tail the Prius’ 8k units by a 1 to 4 ratio, somewhat better than a few months back.
The Honda brand was up 12%, and Acura by 17%. But all of Acura’s cars were down; its growth was fueled by the two CUVs: MDX: +65%; RDX: +20%. Honda CUVs were all down a bit, and the Odyssey up a tad. And three FCX Clarities were leased. Full details:

Over 2,400 people were stupid enough to buy that ugly Crosstour. Only 159 idiots bought thw ZDX. 131 RL’s sold. That’s reallt pathetic.
And there are 331 obviously blind people driving Acura ZDXs on our roads…my God, run for cover, everyone!!!!
Though the Crosstour is strange looking and unpleasant in appearance, it is quite practical. It also gives people options from owning an SUV or minivan. My questions is have either of you in fact sat in one?
re Crosstour: I don’t hate it as much a last year when the pics first came out. When I see one it looks like a tall Accord hatchback. I do hate the price though. Oh, I just admitted I priced one didn’t I?
What’s going on with Fit? I remember trying one out a few months ago. Accord was too big, Civic was too meh, Fit was just right (a very close match with Mini, score-wise). The only reason I didn’t buy a Fit was that I had too much money allocated, so I ended buying in the different class entirely. Seems like an excellent car, yet it is tanking, why?
The Fit is simply too small for the tastes of most US buyers.
Also, it is interesting that the number of Insights sold almost exactly equals the drop in Fit sales. Maybe Fit buyers are fuel economy obsessed Honda buyers and many of them moved to the Insight this year.
The Fit has terrible ergonomics. That awful A-pillar window makes me feel like I’m sitting in a GM dustbuster minivan. I couldn’t ever buy one for that alone.
The Crosstours seem to be selling pretty well, and I don’t quite get the hate for them here. I always liked 5-doors, and it seems like a reasonable alternative to most of the SUV/CUV offerings.
mostly that it is beyond ugly.
have you seen the overhangs? all these wierd coupe suv, things are terrible (zdx , x6, 550i GT, etc).
wagon, 2 door coupe, or sedan, stop wasting r&d on this crap car companies.
i’m assuming the same people buyign crosstours buy them because its a honda and its sort of practical and has a v6 + awd etc. probably the same people who buy things like the element when it still had plastic cladding as just “a practical car”
