Please note, all percentages are calculated by the Daily Sales Rate (DSR), which takes into account the number of days in the month that dealerships could sell cars. June 2014 had 24 selling days, June 2013 had 26 selling days.
Overall, the month had some very positive results, with most models showing an healthy increase over 2013 — in fact, Lexus reports this was the most successful June since 2007.
Broken record time, but the IS & GX continue on their hot streak with triple digit growth for the sixth straight month. Both the RX & ES show gains as well, good news for two core models in the lineup.
With half the year in the books, Lexus is on pace for a very good 2014 — the 17.9% percentage gain over 2013 is one of the biggest jumps in the automotive industry. With two new models coming by the end of the year, things are looking bright.
