This is the official numbers for small/mid size luxury sedan sells in America for 2013.

Where do you expect the 2014 End year ranks to be regarding the IS?
I actually expect the IS to DOUBLE their sells in 2014. The IS is what's hot right now.

The Lexus ES/IS is realistically part of the same segment. If you combine both models.. Lexus is around BMW 3+4 Sales range.

FYI the IS sales goal was 32k for a full year, they hit 35k in 6 months. Surely it will easily surpass it this year.

Would be interesting if the 3IS can break the 2007 IS record of 54,933

I expect a million or two :-)

More serious, it depends on when 2.0t arrives, as well as RC... both RC and IS together should be able to sell 5000/month, steadily.

Lexus said that they expect 10% more sales in 2014, so it is not like they will be producing a lot of these.
