In its first month of sales and with limited availability, the introduction of the RC coupe propelled Lexus USA to a new sales record for November.
In fact, this was a strong month for just about every model in the lineup — the CT, IS, GS, and GX all saw 20+% sales increases, and the ES & RX managed to maintain their regular pace with little deviation. Even the LS & LX managed to put in solid numbers, despite their year-over-year percentage decrease.
Now, everything looks towards December — Lexus USA general manager Jeff Bracken has went on record that the brand will break 300,000 sales by the end of the year, which means another month with even better results.
Canada
Lexus Canada also set a new November sales record with 1,402 sales — this marks the second month in a row of record sales.
Sales are now at 16,056 for 2014, which already sets an annual record for Lexus in Canada.
(The RC sold 41 units and the RC F sold 15 units for its first month of sales.)
