IS sales will increase as production is ramped up. I can see 50k a year easy.
GS sales should remain flat, which would be good.
LS sales will decrease, its in its last model year.
GX sales will decrease as its in what, its 4th year of production?
SC sales are flat, it never was meant to sell more than 10k a year outside the 12k its first year.
LX sales are flat, its another Lexus not meant to be a volume seller.

Lexus has destroyed all sales expectations for anyone. 15 years ago, the top luxury marque was LUCKY to crack 100k a year (IMPORTS). 325k EXPENSIVE cars is a HUGE profit maker for Toyota.

Wow, who would have thought.


Does anyone REMEMBER the Lexus press release a few years ago when they said they would LIMIT sales as to not dilute the brand?

What a turn!
number was 300,000, which they passed this year. The thing is, you either grow or you die, no other way about it...

I expect GS sales to go up, due to the GS450h, and later in the year the potential GS460/GS350 update. I also expect RX sales to go up with the RX350.

ES sales will go up with the new ES350, and lastly, IS sales should go up, or at least stay constant once production is fully ramped.

Otherwise, rest of the sales will remain flat or potentially drop, but not a big deal, since all volume sellers in the Lexus lineup should be going up.
