2005 Gs Sales
I Think That The Current Generation Has Been A Dog In Terms Of Sales.
It Might Seem Like A Lot Compared To Last Years Sales In Terms Of Percentage Increase Due To The Fact That The Previous G Series Didn't Sell That Much In Its Last Year.
In The Ny / Nj Area, I Hardly See Any New G Series. I See Way More New Bmw 5 Series, New Mercedes E Series , Lexus Ls, Es, And Rx .
I Had A 1998 G300 Which I Enjoyed. I Think The Current Version Is Over-priced.
The Reviews Havn't Been That Great. The Current Consumer Reports Article Sure Doesn't Help. I Don't Remember The Last Generation Having These Types Of Reviews.

Well it's meeting/beating Lexus's own sales target right now. Can't be that bad.
Hopefully the GS350 can arrive soon to end the #1 complaint in most reviews and many power-hungry consumers, that the power is lacking compared to the competition.

Put the '98 GS300 next to a '06 GS300 and compare the two. Styling aside (since that is purely subjective) it's not even funny how much more technologically advanced and refined the 3rd gen GS is over the previous model. The 2nd gen GS is a great car, I drove one for 6 years, but the new GS is a different league. Overpriced? Compared to the 5 series and the E class the new GS is a bargain.
Sales wise, the GS is meeting its target numbers. The 5 sells more since it has more variants, and the majority of sales are constituted by the lower priced 525. The E sells b/c, for better or worse, it's a Mercedes.

What's up with all the capitals?
Anyways, sales of the 3rd gen GS have been very strong. Extrapolated from its first 5 full months of sales, it's on pace to sell 39,000 units annually.
Lexus's target was 33,000 annual sales.

First of all, the current GS is a 2006 model, not 2005. Secondly, Every Word Doesn't Need To Be Capitalized. 
Simple solution, if you don't like the new GS, don't buy one! The new GS has been selling extremely well. In fact, I don't see sales going anywhere but up with the introduction of the GS350, GS450h & GS460 all due to be released within 13-14 months.

Hey JWaters
My cap lock button was on pal!
Don't be such a sensitve baby!
I am not knocking the GS. I've owned 2 Lexus cars. One 92 ES and one 98 GS.
Both were purchased new.
I was just pointing out that I rarely see a current GS in the NY metro area.

Did you forget how to deactivate it?

I'm not being a baby. Just stating my opinion. Sorry if I came off as being abrupt or abrasive.

Good for you. I hope you like them...that's all that matters anyway, right?

Is that really suprising to you? Much of the competition that you mentioned has been on sale for 1-2 years already whereas the GS hasn't even been out for a full 6 months yet. Give it another year and then we'll talk.

Looks like a note from a serial killer.

1. You didn't even bother to go back and look for sales information, which we POST every month, which shows, the GS is selling like hotcakes, beyond expectation, even though it is more expensive.
2. This is the 3GS forum, so its the 2006 GS, the 2005 GS was made in limited quantaties b/c Lexus knew the new one was coming. They PURPOSELY limited production.
3. Just b/c u don't see it, doesn't mean they are not selling
4. Your opinon on it being overpriced is cool. The GS is still thousands less than the Germans.
5. The reviews have been very solid. Only recently with the AWD GS getting last, was it "bad". It they didn't call it a bad car, it just wasn't sporty enough for them.
Now before u make threads, I suggest u read up.
