Hondas Acura brand posted positive results as 3884 copies of the new TLX were sold (compared with 2396 TL and TSX sales last September). The Honda brand was up 11% thanks to another big month from the brands best-selling Accord.
All together, auto sales were up a little more than 9% as lackluster performances from Dodge, Ford, and Volkswagen dragged down big improvements from most of GM, Jeep, Ram, Nissan, and Subaru, among others.

‡ Automotive News estimate
Nissan USAs big gains at its namesake brands were only offset only to a slight degree by Infinitis 13% decline. The Nissan Group has already sold more than 1,000,000 new vehicles in 2014s first three quarters, a mark the company didnt reach in the United States in all of 2008, 2009, or 2010.
Volkswagens fast-growing Audi brand shot up 14% to a once-again Cadillac-beating 14,917 units in September, as 23% of the brands sales were generated by the A3 and Q3. At Volkswagen itself, however, sales plunged 19% to fewer than 26,000 units. Volkswagen USA sold more than 36,000 new vehicles in September 2012. 53% of Porsches September sales were generated by the Cayenne and Macan. Boxster/Cayman and Panamera volume declined.
Subaru is heading in the opposite direction from Volkswagen: September sales shot up 31% to more than 41,000 units as the Forester, WRX, Legacy, XV Crosstrek, and best-selling Outback all produced increases.
Kia sales increased 7% in September and are up 7% this year, strengthened last month by a 46% improvement in Soul sales.
BMWs Mini brand continued to struggle in September as all models except the Countryman reported serious decreases. The BMW brand, however, was up 9% as 3-Series/4-Series volume shot up 51%. Mercedes-Benz, with a 10% increase in CLA volume, 393% jump in S-Class sales, and 9% and 11% gains from the M and GLK, respectively, outsold BMW by 1729 units last month.
Mazda posted a 7% increase in September 2014 despite declining 3 sales. The CX-5 was the brands most popular model with 8097 units, a 29% year-over-year increase. Another even smaller Japanese auto brand, Mitsubishi, also reported improved September sales: the 39% gain equalled 1557 extra units.
Jaguar and Land Rover both reported year-over-year declines in September; Jaguars fifth consecutive drop. Maserati, therefore, outsold Jaguar for the second straight month. Volvo, another former low-volume PAG brand, was up 11% in September thanks to increases from the S60, S80, XC60, XC70, and the addition of the V60.
