2013 Lexus GS 350 Ranks as One of the Fastest Selling Cars in USA

Posted by Kevin on April 23rd, 2012

The 2013 Lexus GS 350 is one of the top-ten fastest selling cars in the USA, according to Edmunds.

The ranking looks at the days-to-turn, or how many days between a vehicle’s arrival at the dealership and its purchase by a customer. In the month of March, the industry average was 53 days — in contrast, the GS 350 was only on the lot for an average of 15 days.

Other Lexus vehicles that performed well: the GX 460 at 28th with an average of 25 days at the dealership, the CT 200h at the 37th position with 28 days, and RX 350 coming in at 44th with 31 days-to-turn.

(The fastest selling vehicle in the USA? The Toyota Prius C, with a eight day dealership stay.)

I don't put a whole lot of stock in days to turn/supply because the manufacturer can manipulate it by restricting supply.  It needs to be coupled with high sales to justify.  The GS is still well behind the class leaders in sales.  Lexus GX sells 800-1000 a month? Audis have very low days supply, but they also have very low sales compared to luxury car leaders.   The Prius C makes it more valuable because they sold 9-10k in 2-3 weeks..... BD

    It's not a matter of lying, and numbers don't lie. But this number only tells a very small part of the story.  It isn't THE story...... BD

I like so much Lexus, CT, GS and LS, but the restyle of the GS... it seems to be so 'closer' with BMW Serie 5 and Audi A6... Anyway, I hope this new Lexus politics can demonstrate that they can do better their job than european or american brands.

My business partner just earned her choice of Lexus cars in just 18 months from the business we're in together.  Want to learn how to get a part of a 2.5 Billion dollar industry that will be 5 Billion by 2015?  Where do you think you'd be if you had been able to partner with the doctors who created ProActiv?  Well, what they did for acne, they're now doing for anti-aging and skin damage with their new venture, Rodan + Fields Dermatologists.  That's who we've partnered with and our business is already creating millionaires in less than 3 years.  Check out my website at www.lynnebaldwin.myrandf.biz and contact me if you're interested in a GROUND FLOOR opportunity where you CAN earn one of these incredible cars and be a part of the direct sales history with the fastest growing company in the industry.  800% growth in 2010!!!

Hard to believe that it is starting out that the 2013 Lexus GS is one of the best selling car in it class!  I guess my taste are different then the general public because I think the front end is ugly!  LOL!  Good for Lexus designers!   It shows that I have no taste!  LOL!
