Cars Take Lead Role in American Honda October Sales Gains

November 1, 2017

Honda Civic set a new October sales record as cars took the leading role in Honda's October sales gains.

TORRANCE, California, Nov. 1, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — American Honda Motor Co., Inc. today reported October sales of 127,353 Honda and Acura vehicles, an increase of 0.9 percent vs. October 2016. With strong sales of passenger cars, Honda Division reported an increase of 1.2 percent on sales of 114,655. Acura Division sales were down slightly at 1.3 percent on sales of 12,698 vehicles.

Honda
Honda delivered another strong month with passenger car sales playing the lead role. Civic outpaced the market again with another double-digit gain while Accord, strengthened by the debut of the all-new 2018 model, gained 4.7 percent in October. Increased production of Pilot also paid dividends as sales climbed 18.5 percent for the month. Elsewhere in the truck lineup, tight supplies of key model trims checked sales growth.

Honda car sales gained 6.3 percent in October, with 60,283 units sold.
Civic sales climbed 15 percent on sales of 30,319 for the month, a new October record.
Accord posted 26,740 sales, up 4.7 percent with the debut of the all-new 2018 model, with 2.0T and Hybrid variants yet to launch.
Pilot sales gained notably in October for the second straight month, with sales up 18.5 percent on sales of 10,285.

“With key competitors resorting to aggressive discounting and heavy incentives even on new models, Honda is riding the growing momentum of a robust product lineup boosted by the all-new Accord,” said Jeff Conrad, senior vice president of the Automobile Division of American Honda. “As the rollout of the new 2018 Accord continues, we’re focused on a strong finish to 2017 and a fourth consecutive year of record sales.”

Acura
Acura sales were led by MDX, which gained again as it benefitted from higher production volume with the complete shift of production to the East Liberty Plant in Ohio. And while sedan and RDX sales were challenged by the aggressive incentives by competitors, the NSX had its best sales month since going on sale in 2016 with a 30 percent gain in October.

MDX sales were up 4.7 percent in October, with 5,287 units sold.
RLX sales are climbing, helped more significantly by the RLX Sport Hybrid as it continues to gain recognition. RLX gained 6.5 percent on sales of 99 units.
ILX sales were up 2.6 percent on sales of 1,025 vehicles.

“We’re pleased to see the higher inventory from the move of Acura MDX production quickly result in stronger sales,” said Jon Ikeda, vice president & general manager of the Acura division. “With the redesigned RLX ready to hit the market in the coming days sporting a strong expression of the new Acura design direction, we’ll look to close 2017 with stronger sedan sales.”

First Medical E-Commerce Site Launches in New York Just as Open Enrollment Starts!

November 1, 2017

NEW YORK, Nov. 1, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Urgent Medical Access, UMA Health, announced today its insurance-free, affordable health care marketplace is the ideal way for patients in the New York area with high-deductible plans or no insurance to shop for doctors and save money. Best of all, there are no membership or hidden fees for doctors or patients. UMA doctors can usually see patients on the same or next day.

In addition, UMA gives patients access to some of the best doctors as tens of thousands of providers have left insurance due to its red tape and low reimbursement rates.

“As a practicing doctor I have seen firsthand how insurance comes between patients and optimal care,” said UMA founder Dr. Pedram Hendizadeh. He continued, “We developed this platform to solve the biggest insurance-related health care problems. We are solving a big pain point for doctors while simultaneously saving patients thousands in unnecessary premiums. Patients are now opting for higher deductibles and shopping for basic health care and dental needs on UMA’s site.”

UMA Health allows doctors of all specialties to create a completely free profile offering their common services and pricing while patients are able to book appointments based on price, distance, ratings, and availability.

The platform is cash-pay (credit card), bypassing insurance entirely, though HSAs are accepted.

By using UMA Health, patients can save money and doctors can offer lower rates since they don’t have the insurance costs which can be more than 61% of their overhead expenses.

Patients know exactly what they pay and no longer receive surprise bills in the mail. Dr. Hendizadeh is available to speak about how new direct-pay doctor alternatives to insurance will allow far more of our nation’s healthcare spending to go to actual healthcare, not insurance company profits.

UMA connects self-paying patients to doctors, and Dentists. UMA is currently featuring doctors in the NYC area and growing quickly. The platform skips insurance and there are no surprise bills to follow when using UMA. It enables and empowers patients to find doctors based on cost, distance, ratings and availability. Patients and members of the press may book an appointment online at umahealth.com.

Avoid Damaging New Fuel Pump and Improve Engine Performance with a Clean Gas Tank

November 1, 2017

BETHESDA, Maryland, Nov. 1, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Motorists may not know much about their fuel pump but over the life of owning a vehicle, it will probably need to be replaced. One area that often gets overlooked when putting in a new fuel pump is cleaning the gas tank. The Car Care Council recommends that when it comes time to replace your fuel pump, that you have your gas tank cleaned thoroughly to avoid damaging your replacement fuel pump. A clean fuel tank can also ensure maximum engine performance and fuel efficiency.

“While a vehicle’s fuel pump is not a routine maintenance item, it will likely need to be replaced at some point while you own a car,” said Rich White, executive director, Car Care Council.”Before replacing a defective fuel pump with a new one, the fuel tank should be properly cleaned to clear old debris, dirt and contaminants that have accumulated at the bottom of the tank.”

Whether performed by a professional service technician, or you do it yourself, follow this 10-step process to clean your gas tank properly and avoid damaging your new fuel pump:

Drain fuel tank into an approved container.
Clean rust and debris from the top of the fuel tank.
Remove fuel pump.
Swirl gas tank. Pour out remaining gas and debris.
Clean the tank interior with a low-suds soap and water mixture.
Swirl cleaning solution inside tank.
Drain tank and dry with compressed air.
Wipe out tank with lint-free towel.
Visually inspect tank. Replace tank if damaged
Confirm tank is completely dry (may take approximately 30 minutes).

“The original fuel pump that came with your vehicle when you purchased it went into a clean gas tank so it only makes sense to put your replacement fuel pump into a clean gas tank as well,” said White. “Cleaning the gas tank will not only improve engine performance, but it will also lead to better fuel economy so you pay less at the pump – a goal of most vehicle owners.”
