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

Where you been
I am the top Chrysler hater
Ever been stuck in traffic?
It is usually due to some rusted out Chrysler minivan that is going below the speed limit in the middle lane (with at least one broken tail lamp)

Holy ! at 4 series sales. I'd be really curious to know the breakdown of coupe vs gc sales. I've yet to see a gc in real life.

Because the 3 series GT is a hatch version of the 3 series. and the 4 series is supposed to be the two door version of the 3 series, but they added back the rear doors and did a hatch in the back, making it essentially a 3 series GT.

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.

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...

However you have to wonder the success of Toyota as it is the largest auto manufacturer in the whole entire world. Maybe Toyota wants to keep the RC and GS exclusive, who knows?
The 4 Series includes the 428i, 428i vert, 428i Grand Coupe, 435i, 435i vert, 435i Grand Coupe, M4, M4 vert, etc. Lexus only has the RC 350, RC F and the RC 300h sold even more exclusive. Maybe with the introduction of the RC 200t will Lexus sell more of the RC line. I think Lexus should do more with the RC in the U.S. Do what BMW does and expand the RC line not just in the U.S. but around the whole world as such:
RC 200t
RC 300 awd
RC 300h (bring to the States)
RC 350
RC 250C/350C (convertible)
RC F

Obviously the RC isn't as successful as the 4 Series. Just like the GS isn't as successful as the 5 Series. Just like the IS isn't as successful as the 3 Series. Lexus is happy that the RC, GS and the IS is meeting the sales goals/projections.

lexus is likely to keep the gs 'exclusive' with terrible marketing like this.

idea is to make most profit per car, not to make most cars... and overall Toyota is most profitable manufacturer by far (both overall but especially per vehicle), obviously a lot of that comes from Lexus and not models like Camry which are usually discounted and sell to fleets.
My point as that there were 11 RC models on grounds which seem a little unusual for Toyota or Lexus. Seems to me the car is not moving

Toyota is a conservative company and would like to be number one in every category. Lexus may not be perfect but it's closer to perfection than it's competitors...
