“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.”

Mercedes leads of course, even though this model is old. A refresh is in the pipeline and that doesn't bode well for everyone.
The current S Class is 5 years old, and running on a typical 7 year model cycle for this class of vehicle.
It's not just a refresh, but an "all new" S Class based on the new Mercedes MRA modular architecture has been caught testing, and is due for release in under two years - mid 2020.
