• All Makes & Models Ranked By U.S. July 2014 YTD Sales
The ZDX, TSX, and TL will all be killed off. The ZDX has been dying a slow death for months now, but dealers are slow to offload the undesirable crossover. As a result, sales of the TSX and TL have dwindled. Meanwhile, the Acura RLX (and its RL predecessor) have always been low-volume cars. In July 2014, the RLX recorded far lower U.S. sales than it did one year ago.
• Top 30 Best-Selling Vehicles In America - July 2014
Overall Acura passenger car sales slid 53% in July; the ILX was down 17% to 1235 units. At parent brand Honda, passenger car sales were level as the Accord, America's second-best-selling car, jumped 11% and the Civic, America's fourth-best-selling car, slid 7%.
The majority of these worst sellers are nameplates which have either been cancelled, placed on hiatus, or are approaching replacement. In no case is this more apparent than with Volkswagen's Routan, a Dodge Grand Caravan copy that went off the production line two years ago.
Yet there are vehicles suffering from a severe case of DPS, Decreasing Popularity Syndrome, because they're simply not competitive with their current pricing schemes. Case in point, the Dodge Viper.
