TORRANCE, Calif., Jan. 4 -- For a second consecutive year Acura light trucks posted record year-end sales, eclipsing 2006 by 29.1 percent. December sales of 5,906 MDX luxury SUVs and 2,263 RDX turbocharged crossover SUVs represent a significant rise over November and generate year-end sales of 58,606 units (a 7.9 percent increase) for MDX and 23,356 units (a 154 percent increase) for RDX.

"The MDX and RDX remain segment favorites as record sales of Acura's luxury SUVs continue for a second straight year," said Dick Colliver, executive vice president of sales. "The MDX and RDX's unique mix of technology, safety and Super Handling All-Wheel Drive are a perfect combination, especially as the snowy winter months approach."
