This thread is just a one stop place to track monthly sales of the CRZ.
I will try to update these numbers each month. Red means a drop from previous month. Green means rise from previous month.

Gas prices, graduations and people getting tax returns back will all help. A rise in car sales is standard across the board is standard this time of year. What I will be interested to see is how car sales will be effected with new models being introduced this spring with Ford, Fiat, Scion, Mazda, and Nissan.
Woohooo I was part of the Feb sales. As i've stated before it was more of an impulse buy for me, but one that i'm not regretting with $3.99 for the Premium gas in my area and cheap stuff $3.69+
:beer:
I agree that the surge in gas prices should result in some increased demand for the CRZ.
But it should be noted that at the current sales rate, there is a more than 4 month supply of CRZs sitting on dealer lots today. For all other Honda models, the unsold inventory ranges from 1 month to 2.5 months supply. Sales will have to pick up significantly for the CRZ in order to sell off the excess inventory.
I predict that some kind of sales incentives will be coming should CRZ sales not hit 1500+ in the next couple months.
Not to burst the bubble here. I had a news paper article from the AP, but somehow it has "disappeared", but every car manufactures numbers are up and out of all the Asian car manufacturers ( Kia, Hyundai, Honda, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Nissan) all but Honda and Toyota sales where up between upper 20's to 45% with Honda at 21% and Toyota was at the bottom below Honda. The worst was GM out of all the car sales. Ford was the biggest winner of them all.
Things to remember is Honda also had there "Big Sales Event" to help those numbers even though the CR-Z was not included in that promotion. Things are going to get ugly though considering the earthquake.
another thing to consider with that post, VTEC, is that when your at a certain level, there's only so much more u can go up... in other words, those mentioned companies are coming from a lower starting point than Honda, so they have more room to go up... and with Hyundai's supposedly "Accord killer-Sonata" they sold a little over 21k... the Accord sold 33k and even if u take away the crosstour sales that's still 31k or 10k MORE than the Sonata... but this really isn't the thread for arguing car sales :wiggle:
Not arguing, just putting things in perspective. If it wasn't for Honda's sales event there numbers would be lower and when your talking total sales globaly, 10K is not that much. Then from someone coming from way behind and nearly catching the top dog, that is saying something. Then on a final note Honda has every bit of selling more and are not limited. I have never see a Honda lot completely empty of new cars.
I am not trying to get nasty, snotty or, especially bash Honda but the once underdogs are coming up and the top dogs are starting to go down and as a whole, all sales where up for ALL manufactures which is also normal for this time of year.
I am predicting that April will prove to be the CRZ's largest sales month ever. $5.00/gallon gas combined with spring weather should combine to drive higher sales than the CRZ has achieved so far. inventories are shrinking because there has been a month disruption in the supply because of the earthquake/tsunami, but there are still at least 5000 CRZs available on Honda lots right now.
