If I was a car company I would make sure at least 6 suv were in my line up.... you will automatically make money.

I think the new LS may be in big trouble especially with just a V6.
.

I think you are right. Lexus was saying something like 4000 per year for the US. I wonder if the engine options are keeping some away. More expensive hybrid vs gas was a poor move.

15 amazing Ford GT deliveries, looks like they are ramping up toward the goal of 20 per month.

87 new NSX deliveries spurred by an incentive of as much as $30k per car to reduce 2017 inventory. The incentive supposedly ends in November so expect another good month then back to tepid. 2018s are expected to be predominantly customer ordered cars.

35 R8 deliveries

245 AMG GT deliveries spells success!

Q50 at 2791 did better than IS at 1972 and GS at 558 combined

Q60 at 909 is similar to RC at 828

LC seems at a stable level, 219

If this is U.S. only, then these numbers are pretty decent considering they make only 400 a month.

I was referring to the car lineup.
GX is doing great as well.

Then why are they offering $5k rebates on it?

Testers/former press cars, special holiday offers, crappy color combos that nobody wants to pay full MSRP for (I saw blue/red, silver/blue or yellow/tan LC's being offered online). Also, dealers expected the hybrid to sell much better but since it got poor reviews (undeservedly so but OK), demand might have been so low that dealerships can’t wait to get them off the lot ASAP and replace them for more V8’s.

the gt/gts is a huge success imho, mb hit it right

558 gs... what am i going to say...

I don't own one but I do love it, it is a hell of a lot of car and beautiful from the ones I have seen, especially with a 30K incentive. There is nothing in its category that is going to provide the looks and performance and be as reliable and painless to own.
