Very sad that Lexus is now selling less than half of BMW and even less than Audi.
The new Camry at 22k sold is actually doing quite a bit worse than the last-gen (sold 25k in the same month last year). With all aggressive the "The Toyotas are here" marketing campaign and plenty of inventory being available it's quite alarming how Toyota is the only automaker that's still down for the month.

Looks like Honda's inventory is slowly improving, as the Accord is #1 in the mid-size segment, and Civic is #2.
Hopefully Lexus's redesigns next year will boost its sales. I'll be in the market for a luxury sedan potentially next year, so I'll highly anticipate what Lexus has to offer.
Don't really know why Audi is rising so fast; its cars are extremely unreliable.

Subaru
CHERRY HILL, N.J., Nov. 1, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Subaru of America, Inc. today announced October 2011 sales of 20,081 and sales of 216,334 year-to-date.
October 2011 saw the best October ever for Subaru Legacy and Outback. Impreza sales were affected by sell-down of the 2011 model ahead of the debut of the all-new 36 mpg Impreza that will begin to arrive in dealerships in November.
Production levels at Subaru factories have now fully recovered and the company expects sales numbers to reach new heights in the coming months to meet continuing customer demand.
"We once again broke 20,000 sales in a month, despite our low inventory," said Thomas J. Doll, executive vice president and chief operating officer, Subaru of America, Inc. "Based on the continuing strong demand for our products, increased supply through December and the launch of the all-new Impreza we expect to finish 2011 with the fourth consecutive year of sales growth for Subaru."
"Our dealers continue to sell at record levels of efficiency; in fact we sold more cars in October than we began the month with. We are confident our inventory shortages are now behind us and look forward to our dealers closing out the year with increased sales," said Bill Cyphers, SVP Sales, Subaru of America, Inc.

My brother recently purchased a 2012 Audi A7. It's a big car and has all the bells and whistles but I for one know it's not going to be as reliable as a Lexus. I'm sure when my brother starts experiencing issues he'll get rid of the car. Hopefully he goes to Lexus the next time...

It would be safe to assume people don't buy Audi's for their reliability. Most likely they buy it for the looks/styling?
