It will be interesting to see if the Panamera can maintain it's growth in sales.

And both the S and 7 have been out for several years yet still blowing away the almost new LS. Even the CT6 is beating the LS in sales, with 2188 YTD excluding April sales. Yep. The CT6 outsold the LS by over 300 units YTD even though LS sales included April and CT6 sales did not. The LS did manage to edge out the Lincoln Continential's 1734 units sold by 144 cars.

So, it has nothing to do with "die hard 1-4LS fans because it is not 1989, 2000, or 2007 anymore" and everything to do with Lexus turning the LS into a car that alienated it's traditional buyers yet doesn't really appeal to new customers either. Their marketing department is questionable. NX sales were double what they expected while LS has have been far less than expected. Somebody isn't doing their homework and surely doesn't understand the market either way.
I said the Panamera was the best seller in April. Reading is fundamental.

Nobody comparing a CT6 to any of the Germans or the LS. Lincoln too? That ain't it chief. I know there are folks happily driving Buicks for all I care, but come on now... Smh.

I was sarcastically jabbing with the other poster who was jabbing the 5LS sales in this thread and in previous "hate" threads started by you. You can leave me alone now.

And I'll ask you to please stop inflaming the situation with the sarcastic jabbing and personal comments. It's led to yet another thread headed downhill with the 5LS sales trolling.

Folks as requested previously let's keep 5LS topics in the 5LS forum.
