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 2018 had 27 selling days, June 2017 had 26 selling days.

Some highlights from the month:

  • Lexus LUVs posted a 7.4 percent increase, a best-ever June
  • NX Hybrid up 270 percent, the sixth consecutive best-ever month
  • NX combined sales up 5.8 percent in June, a best-ever June and first half
  • RX saw gain of 5.3 percent in June
  • GX increased 23.5 percent, a best-ever June in 13 years
  • LS up 135.5 percent in the first half

“Lexus closed out the first half of the year up led by best-ever LUV sales,” said David Christ, group vice president and general manager, Lexus division. “RX is up seven percent year-to-date and remains the top-selling luxury vehicle in the industry while the NX delivered ten percent year-over-year growth.

“In addition to these great results, we successfully launched our flagship sedan, the all-new LS 500, and the all-new RXL. We’re looking forward to continued success in the third quarter, which will get a boost from our all-new ES sedan that goes on sale in September.”

The 7 series almost outsold the LS and that 7 series has been out for what, three years versus an LS that has only been on the market for four months? The Panamera, which is almost two years old, likewise almost bested the LS.

LS: 789
BMW 7 series: 742
Porsche Panamera: 735

Who would bet money that the LS drops below the 7 series and Panamera by next month?

I couldn't find the CT6 numbers anywhere. Anyone know those figures? That Cadillac will be a strong seller once that new engine hits as well. The Genesis G90 is doing poorly. I guess the value angle isn't doing well or other factors are coming into play. The Audi A8 is in the toilet, but that's expected with a new model coming out in a few months. Mercedes leads of course, even though this model is old. A refresh is in the pipeline and that doesn't bode well for everyone.
Thats one month and they are giving away the 7 series. BMW never came close to hitting their targets. I've had a lot of conversations with them about the 7 since day one and they feel it should be doing much better.

Porsche is doing fantastic here.

BMW almost sold as many 5 series as all of Lexus’ sedans combined.

Their 4 series coupe outsold the RC 10 to 1, ouch.
The 5 is a big volume car it's always sold in higher numbers.

The 4 is a higher volume coupe with more variants including a 4 door and a crosstour version.

I'm not saying Lexus is doing good here but these are old arguments rehashed elsewhere.

Not surprised on the slipping Lexus car sales and it pains me to say they are outgunned in performance, tech, and yes, interior materials/build quality where they once were untouchable. The dominance in reliability is also insufficient to convince the buyer for their hard-earned cash.

I hope the next IS is still in the plans and Lexus needs to not drag the current gen for 8 years like the 2IS! :scream: Lexus, please stick to a 6-year model cycle like most of the competition if you want to still compete. I want the next IS but not in MY 2022! :cold_sweat:
