Nope, real Chinese in China hate the Japanese so they buy very few Japanese products.

For luxury cars, they buy either Euros (Audi, BMW), or American (Buick).

In 2012, Lexus sold 64k cars, BMW sold 326k cars.

Even the rich *** Chinese people here still stuck on Euros like BMW and Benz as their status symbol. They seem the pass it down to their kids, I see mostly BMW M3s and Benz at their school with the exception of some GTRs.

I took my Chinese coworker out on my new car and she was like.. Why didn't u get BMW instead? Then once she sat in it she's all different. I love it when that happens to people. Then I'm like.. Yea Lexus has that effect on people.

This is...largely true. You need to be prepared to take major $___t if you buy a Japanese car, especially outside Beijing and Shanghai.

Well, Acura is certainly trying to break into the Chinese market...

What I don't get is why did they go back to using the old remote mouse with the enter button on the side. Maybe the production cars will get touchpad like the RC or the same as the current GS mouse.

And what's up with the funny looking window switches?! The left side looks different than the right.

Well, may be I missed it but I don't think I've seen any source about the price for the past three months.

That was an estimated guess that came out 3 months ago, we can all guess that it is more then $70k and less then $85k.
