So... With 4 months to go and only 15k difference between then, can the Lexus take the title this year in the USA? If NX and RC arrive in any significant numbers, they could add at least 5k-10k to the final tally and maybe even more.
Lexus gained 9k-10k in last 2 months vs MB and BMW.

Straight up, the Q50 has been much less successful than anticipated and the rest of the range is pretty stale. They need Q30, QX30, new QX50, new QX70, Q60 very badly.
I really doubt it. Seems like the NX is going to be somewhat capacity constrained with how high preorders and initial demand have been around the world. Do we know when it's going to be available for sale in the US yet?

a great sales month for most, blowing out the '14s.
accord/civic combo trouncing camry/corolla combo is a bit surprising, but maybe the market realizes a full refresh camry is right around the corner.

Yeah unfortunately it seems the fastest way for them to gain sales is to go downmarket and introduce new SUV's.

Interesting that the Express and savanna sales are up that much. Could it be traditional E-series buyers are going to Chevy to keep their 'murican style vans as opposed to ford transits?

Several full-line automakers joined luxury brands in boosting discount offers. Incentive spending climbed 43 percent at Nissan Motor Corp., 24 percent at Chrysler Group and 23 percent at Ford Motor Co., Autodata said.
The average cost of incentives per vehicle vary widely by brands, with sellers of higher-priced models such as luxury cars or fullsize pickups tending to spend more to boost deliveries.
Spending by vehicle averaged $4,912 at BMW last month, followed by $4,189 for Mercedes and $3,236 for Audi.
Chrysler was the biggest discounter among full-line carmakers last month, with average spending of $3,856 per vehicle, followed by $3,595 at Ford and $3,587 at General Motors.
"Incentive spending changes reflect consumer demand shifting to higher-MSRP, higher-profit vehicle segments, which is a net positive for most full-line automakers," said John Krafcik, president of auto-buying website TrueCar Inc.

I expect Toyota's production numbers to show big upside for September, something that Lexus US has aluded to.
