It looks like in a SUV-era a deep 2nd refresh (not even an all new car) on a compact sports sedan is acting like a halo car! Every model is up, both monthly and Q1!

It’s a pretty sweet and incredible irony.

Maybe this sales results just saved a 4IS by 2023!

Missing LC here. Does that mean there was 0 LC sold last March as well as this March?

Accord / Civic / CRV / Pilot: 21,035 / 28,414 / 40,779 / 13,915
Venza: 8,112 (up from March, 6512)
Lexus ES / IS / NX / RX: 3251 / 2414 / 5404 / 10,146
Acura TLX / RDX / MDX: 2848 / 4576 / 7685
