LC Sales so far in U.S.:

2017 - 2,487
2018 - 1,979
2019 - 848 YTD - January thru August, my projection 2,500 (I believe Lexus projected sales of LC is 4,000)
Total = 5,314

8 Series sales since inception in U.S.:

2018 - 223
2019 - 2,021 YTD - January thru August
Total = 2,244

 

surprising to me the 8 series outsells the LC over 2:1.
maybe it's because it has a bit more room so more a 'grand tourer'?

 

Convertible offered, more engine options and in my opinion the biggest advantage, AWD! Shouldn't be a huge selling point, but I'm sure it is in the snow belt.

Many think its priced to high, but I personally think it's fine. Think it's a steal at the 12k discount or whatever it is that we saw in the news months back.

The IS line definitely needs to be updated and bring back the IS F (with 504hp, C63S has 503hp) and IS 300h to North America.
