Yup, it is true. I was actually in Eastern Europe a few months ago, and Lexus was very popular there. Specifically, the IS, GS, and LS models were the most popular. RX was decently popular as well.
Hi TRDFantasy, remember our discussion about Lexus Russia sales a while back? I found out that you were correct, Lexus was #1 in Russia in 2006. The margin was very close though, and now they are around the top 3.
