- Small/entry Luxury Car Sales And Midsize Luxury Car Sales In America - January 2011
Rather than disparage Acura for failing to sell more than 160 RLs in January 2011, why not question the 160 humans who acquired an Acura RL in January as to why they chose a freakin' Acura RL over a desirable Infiniti M37 or, dare we say it, even...
