I've only seen 2 on the road, and the second was today at lunch next to the Lexus dealer. I imagine it was just headed out for a test drive.

Its not a huge volume car. I rarely see any LS on the road. I've seen several, saw one yesterday actually.

Interesting I haven't seen no LS 500's on the road but I see G90's all the time.

If the 500 is not selling, that's all you need to know. Trying to give huge incentives is not normally the Lexus mentality, so there is another clue. I've not driven one, but I've seen one up close and personal. It wouldn't be for me. When the time is right, I'll look at the newer 460's or as mentioned, the G90. My neighbor drives the 90 and loves it. Another neighbor drives the G80 and loves it.

It's nice to know the LS500 is outselling the G90 many times over but I don't see any new LS's in my region.

It is selling, I believe its currently #1 in the segment.

Lexus does more incentives than you think. Incentives in this segment are a requirement. I got $12k off of my $80K LS460 in 2015, and $23k off of my $90k LS460L in 2017. Like I said, you can get $20k off of an S Class no problem. It's just the nature if that segment now.

Why aren’t the G90’s selling? Your thoughts?

They are selling, you're just not going to have the kind of volume on the G90 as you would other models from more established players. For one, very few dealers sell the G90, so you have to have dealers in order to sell the product.

agreed I was getting 14k off ls500 with mrsp of 104 without breaking a sweat last week. I got about 8k off brand new isf that’s when they just came out. I recently bought a new gx460 / 10k off and a lx570 also brand new 18k off..
sone dealers don’t play but many do.
I was blown away on the savings Audi dealer offered me on a rs7 it was about 25k off retail.
