Good numbers for the Lexus SUVs, but not enough to compensate for the dismal Lexus sedan sales. IS (and GS if still remains) is in need of a major overhaul now, but reality is no sooner than MY 2021.

Total = 1,937,783

The RX line (big dog) is very successful and can't think of anything to improve it. There are already a 2 row and 3 row RX and F Sport versions. Lexus could expand the operation of the navigation/infotainment along with the touch screen to also include the mouse controller, controls on the steering wheel and voice command, similar to the 2020 Mercedes GLE. Maybe introduce an electric version and a plug in hybrid of the RX such as the RX 400e/RX 450ph...but how many people will actually purchase an electric RX because of the range? Other than that the RX line is just fine the way it is.

I think the hybrid RX could use solid state batteries for quick charging and longer battery life as well as savings in weight. Also use weight saving materials such as carbon fiber hood, front fenders and trunk and a carbon fiber roof as well. Use titanium exhaust and underpinnings, titanium lug nuts and bolts. With the weight savings the hybrid RX would be a lot peppier and save gas.

Update of GX sales:

1GX
2002 - 2,190
2003 - 31,376

2021 - My projection 25,000
2022 - My projection 22,500
3GX
2023 - My projection 26,000
Total 371,538 + 107,063 = 478,601

Lexus should also bring in a 2 row GX as well which would be at a lower price point and have more cargo room than the 3 row GX. Bring in a diesel variant as well. This would also increase sales as well. F Sport the GX as well...and bring in Android Auto and more USB's

Lexus China sales exceed 16,000 units in Oct., up 11% YoY

Shanghai (Gasgoo)- Toyota’s luxury brand Lexus reported a year-on-year sales jump of 11.2% with 16,324 vehicles sold in China in October. The sales for the first ten months totaled 160,914 units, an increase of 21.5% from the prior-year period.

Click to expand...

LM is expected to start selling in February 2020. This year's sales target is likely to be an annual growth rate of 20%，about 192k.

I really don't understand how a 8-series sells more than a LC...

It's pure snobbery. The LC is much better looking.

The IS line definitely needs to be updated and bring back the IS F with at least 426hp - 504hp (M3 has 425hp and C63S has 503hp) and IS 300h to North America. C'mon Lexus you can do it...
