February GS sales!
From Flipside
GS sales were boosted by the launch of the all-new 2006 GS 300 and GS 430 luxury performance sedans in late February. The GS 300 had sales of 1,602, an increase of 196.1 percent, while the GS 430 posted sales of 345, an increase of 222.4 percent.
The GS was not even officially launched and they sold almost 2k cars.
That is amazing. The launch is today, MArch 1st with FULL advertising. Basically nearly 2k people bought the new GS on WORD OF MOUTH. There was hardly any press or news to the general public, only auto nuts like you and me.

HAHA the % increase is just insanely ridiculous 
this is aweswome. i wanna see the number for march
and also keep in mind, they are going to get in more GS, and later this yr the new hybrid rx... lexus can only import so many cars a yr, that means the allocation for other lexus models are going to drop, which means prices might go up a bit (or stay strong) on those

So how do we tell if this is for people buying the 2006 GS or making great deals on the 2005?

A little bit off-topic, but according to those figures, the GS430 was Toyota's least-sold car in February 2004. (I couldn't say "least popular" because I'm sure a lot of people wanted it, but couldn't afford it.) Boy I hope I have a classic on my hands...

No no no, I still paid MSRP. But I had a 02 GS300 with a negative balance that they worked really well with me on. At first, no one wanted to do this because it decreased the profit margin.
