Well at least LS sales have improved a little. Maybe there is still hope for the future of the “flagship.”

 

Thanks for posting this. Often, in forums, people forget that auto makers are just making the products that sell. Glad to hear LS500 sales be up, maybe just an indicator that the economy is improving. I used to read Mazda's sales reports every month. Strange thing about it is for as much noise as the MX-5 (miata) makes Mazda only sells like 1,000-1,500 units a month. Their brand new $60,000+ 7 row SUV (CX-90) outsells the MX-5 like 4-to-1... but that's what people are buying. Mazda sell like 85-90% Trucks/SUV's. Idk how they are considered a "sporty" or "sportscar" brand anymore.

 

Be it as it may, but nothing rides better than my 2013 LS460!
Sarcasm included.

 

Are these numbers US sales or global?

Ha, except for my ‘02 LS430 with 16” wheels and Bridgestone Turanza Serenity Plus rim protectors.
