Really Strange
The 08's are stacking up like fireplace wood around here. Ive never seen a new Honda not sell like this one is not selling. My dealer has been discounting since they hit the lot. And the other dealers are in a quite panic mode.

Something is not right.......

My dealers is selling them before they even hit the lots. Maybe just you area? It's DEFINITELY NOT the car. These Accords are selling VERY rapid according to some secret Honda info site i'm registered with.

It may well be a area thing. And thats not to say they are not selling. But you didn't see new Civic's, CRV's, Pilots, Ridgelines, or Oddy's stack up here for 6 months after a new gen launch.

Its kind of spooky....

And where exactly do you find this secret crap? Why don't you show and tell?

I've only seen ONE 8th gen since launch...the car is a dud to the public (notice I didn't say I don't like it...)

We'll see how the Accord is really selling, sales numbers for its first full month of sales should be coming out by Friday on hondanews.com and vtec.net, next week at the latest. If that's your secret source your cover is blown

Same here... I've only seen one Accord sedan on the streets so far. No coupes yet.

From what my dealer told me, they're selling okay but the 7th Gen's are still selling better.

Finally saw a black G37 on the streets today too. Now that's a nice looking car. *drool*

This can't be good....

I want to see the super secret numbers also. I don't like the car. Thats not a issue or really a concern. What concerns me is,,, there on the lots and not the streets. This didn't happen with the new Camry in this area. I really want to see this car be a knock out punch for Honda. Really do!!! But Im seeing failure.

Im stunned to tell you the truth. One of the Tulsa dealers had a radio promo this weekend. No Honda or Yota dealer around here has ever done that. The American big three are the ones that have the big TV and Radio promos. NOT Honda or Yota. The Promo was on KMOD the home of Roy D. Mercer. That didn't come cheap.

If Benji has only seen one around a major west coast metro area. That can't be good at all. I too have only seen one on the road in the last week. And Ive been all over eastern Oklahoma and western Arkansas.

Something isn't right.....

Perhaps people are hanging on their money?
Economics reasons?

Unless it's because of the dealer mark-up? I know the sedans are shipping VERY rapidly. Maybe causing them to pile up??

Same scenario here in Orlando. The local dealerships are packed with 08 sedans on the lots, but I've only seen a very few on the road so far. In fact, I'd say no more than three that I can recall...
