Lexus Responds to Next-Gen SC Cancellation Story
Toyota has responded to an Edmunds article that suggested the Lexus SC will be discontinued:
Mike Michels, the corporate manager of External Communications for Toyota Motor Sales USA, has told AutomotiveWorld.com that reports by a US-based automotive website which claim the Lexus SC and Toyota Avalon will not be replaced due to slow sales are “unfounded speculation”.
“We [TMS] do not comment on future product plans or timetables, for obvious competitive reasons,” Michels states, stating that Inside Line did not contact the OEM’s US division’s media department before publishing its story.
Not really a denial, not really a confirmation, which makes me feel the news may be true. If that’s the case, I doubt the company is very happy to have someone leaking out business details.

My friend, who works in Edmunds, wants me to tell you that there’s no apostrophe in Edmunds…
What, was he afraid to tell me himself?
I’ve updated the story, thanks Louis.
