Acura Continues Blistering Sales Pace

    TORRANCE, Calif., July 3 Acura enjoys an eighth

and marks a 23 percent increase over last year, the company announced today.
    Acura's year-to-date sales surged to 84,910 in June, up 25.4 percent over
the same period last year.  The best-selling 3.2 TL and TL Type-S luxury
performance sedans set a new June sales record of 6,616 units, a 10.9 percent
increase over June 2000.  The continued strong demand brings year-to-date TL
sales to 36,075.  The all-new MDX luxury sport utility vehicle also continues
to increase in popularity, with June sales of 3,301 pushing year-to-date sales
to 21,529.
    "The luxury performance market has been very strong for the last six
months," said Dick Colliver, executive vice president of sales.  "Acura's 2002
models, including the all-new RSX sports coupe will help us on our way to a
record year."
