Primarily the usual collection of lozenge-shaped SUV thingies...
Funny, I kinda like #1 and 2 on the list.

It says the ILX isn't available with an automatic, but I don't think that's true. I *seriously* doubt that a US-market luxury luxury car would be manual-only.

The TSX wagon is awesome though.

Primarily the collection of really old cars that haven't been updated in a long time!

If only Acura had offered 3 pedals...I would have one in my driveway.

Basically what I came to say. There's also no perspective about how most of these models are single engine or low volume models to begin with.

The reason the Maxima isn't doing well has nothing to do with the car. It's magnificent, even with the CVT. It's because it's a normal brand car with only luxury versions available. I mean the V6 Accord or Camry don't fair any better. They just get their stats puffed up by the i4 versions.

Not surprised by the C30, but the description that states that Volvo wants to focus on it's more popular models makes me wish they would bring the rest of their lineup here. I know the V60 is coming finally, but if Volvo actually took the US market seriously, they could definitely shift more S60s and S80s, and probably even have some success with the V40 among people who are graduating from their Mazda 3 hatch but don't want an SUV.

I like the TSX wagon but it only has the smaller of the two engines available for the wagon. The sedan can get the beefier 2.4L or the 2.0L.
