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.”

We now have rumors of 3IS lasting into 2020 or 2021, so that is another 6-7 year cycle when you consider how long the car has been on the road. Adding Apple CarPlay and something like 275hp 2.0T and 375hp 3.0T V6 would go a long way towards adding some pizazz in the lineup, but we know Lexus isn't packing that type of fire power. Over time, this lack of investment in the product sends car shoppers elsewhere and other brands have done a much better job of keeping their product lines fresh and innovative - making consumers feel like they're getting more for their money, and definitely having a better experience. These defected customers then stay where they're at because they're bought into a system that's working for them.
I 100% agree and this is exactly my case. Took the plunge on the Stinger and it is an incredible piece of machinery. We still have the RX but I'm already eyeing the XC60, RDX, F Pace, among others. Sad for such a 30-year loyalist like me but if and when Lexus steps up to the plate, I will be back.

I like the Stinger a lot as well; I would consider it over any Lexus sedan or coupe.

I may not be as tactful as Gecko in regards to their negligence (and it is negligence) all around, especially in power trains and technology, but I agree with him. They spent too much effort on design, thinking that one element would rewind the demographic clock and cure all their ills. Wrong.

They are slow and blind. Their corporate culture isn’t nimble at all based on what we’ve seen so far.
