USA June sales are in — here’s a full model-by-model breakdown:
| MONTH | Year to Date (*DSR) | |||||
| 2010 | 2009 | % CHG* | 2010 | 2009 | % CHG* | |

| Total Trucks | 9,183 | 8,149 | 12.7 | 53,465 | 45,118 | 19.3 |
| Total Sales | 17,332 | 16,874 | 2.7 | 107,430 | 90,060 | 20.1 |
After a 31% increase in sales last month, numbers are down throughout the lineup — though last month’s high figures were a result of the “Unprecedented Access” sales event, and this month both the LS & HS were subject to stopped sales due to their respective recalls.
Hard to say how the recalls will affect sales, but the GX is seeing a strong sales increase despite the stability control recall earlier this year, so it could go either way. Still, there has to be some concern that the car with the only year-over-year increase is also the (soon-to-be) oldest model in the lineup.
Canada
Lexus Canada sold 1,429 Lexus vehicles in June, up 1.9% from the year previous. Lexus SUVs had their best-ever June with 819 units sold, with RX 450h sales up 116.1% and the GX 460 up 104.5%. The IS convertible also enjoyed a good month, up 59.3% compared to last year with 43 units sold.
