toyota should just finish up the scion brand.

spwolf

2 new models launching in 30-40 days, and one more next year... it is not going anywhere.

RXSF

over 8000 C classes? and only 3000 E classes? They need to get the W213 out stat!

GFerg

Dont see how anyone is going to catch BMW. Such a gigantic lineup, so many choices. The 4-series Coupe is in a league of its own. 6k+ sales compared to the RC and A5/S5 at 1k+ each. lol crazy.

doesn't mean the brand is healthy. just need to talk to people at dealerships

S2000toIS350

Isn't one of the new Scion models just a rebadged Mazda?

How is that innovative and experimental (more like another half azd job)?

RNM GS3

WOW - Thats RX territory and X5 costs a lot more.

Trexus

The RC is off to a good start with only the RC 350 and RC F. Hopefully very soon we'll get the RC 200t and sales will really take off not just in the U.S. but worldwide.

June 2015
RC 1,129
A5 1,101
G37 coupe 366

YTD 2015 (Jan - June)
RC 6,730
A5 6,719
G37 coupe 2,292

Since Inception
RC 8,652
A5 107,744

I'm projecting that Lexus will sell about 14,000 units of the RC for all of 2015.

RC 200t (coming soon)
RC 300h (outside U.S.)
RC 350
RC 350C (hopefully coming soon to replace IS 250C/350C)
RC F

Lexus bring the RC 300h to the U.S.

BMW does not separate the 4 Series from the 3 Series and lumps them together. I'd love to know how many 4 Series sell...428i, 435i and M4...

For the BMW 3/4 Series, June sales were 13,516 which is crazy...

If you total the ES, IS and RC, 4,742+3,821+1,129=9,692. Comes close to the 3/4 Series...

Audi has the A5, S5 and RS5. I'm sure most sales are of the A5 base model...
