USA
September’s now in the books, and Lexus USA has reported their sales figures for the month — here’s the full model-by-model breakdown:
| MONTH | Year to Date (*DSR) | |||||
| 2010 | 2009 | % CHG* | 2010 | 2009 | % CHG* | |
| ES | 3,697 | 3,046 | 21.4 | 33,960 | 33,431 | 2.0 |
| HS | 711 | 1,242 | -42.8 | 7,962 | 1,785 | 348.0 |
| LS | 712 | 777 | -8.4 | 8,287 | 7,388 | 12.7 |
| SC | 26 | 19 | 36.8 | 283 | 595 | -52.2 |
| GS | 542 | 501 | 8.2 | 5,239 | 5,277 | -0.3 |
| IS | 2,447 | 3,346 | -26.9 | 24,694 | 27,911 | -11.1 |
| Total Cars | 8,135 | 8,931 | -8.9 | 80,425 | 76,387 | 5.7 | LX | 339 | 307 | 10.4 | 2,595 | 2,513 | 3.7 |
| GX | 1,054 | 473 | 122.8 | 11,522 | 5,183 | 123.3 |
| RX | 7,420 | 8,228 | -9.8 | 67,896 | 65,325 | 4.4 |
| Total Trucks | 8,813 | 9,008 | -2.2 | 82,013 | 73,021 | 12.8 |
| Total Sales | 16,948 | 17,939 | -5.5 | 162,438 | 149,408 | 9.2 |
Numbers are fairly steady in comparison to last year, with the exception of the HS & IS. It’s no struggle to see the reason for these two models seeing a drop in sales:
- The 2011 IS is being advertised nationally and is only now arriving at dealerships, leading to buyers holding off for the updated model.
- Last Semptember was the HS’ first full sales month, always a big month due to built-up demand.
The ES, on the other hand, has rebounded quite nicely from its drop in August.
Canada
Canadian Lexus sales were down 13.2% in September, for a total of 1,305 units sold. That said, there were some strong notes, with the GX 460 up 308.3%, the LS 600hL up 200% and the GS 350 seeing a 54.5% increase in sales.
(Have to apologize for the recent lack of updates, my hotel’s Internet connection was brutal and made any work impossible. Plenty to catch up on — I’ll have photos from the Paris Motor Show up over the weekend, along the full official CT 200h photo galleries and plenty more. Thank you for your patience.)
