...............and not to mention the fact that dealership General Managers and owners often grab up the first ones for themselves before they even start selling them to customers. You can usually tell who's at the top of the pecking-order LOL.

There's no need for a 3 row in Europe let alone in Scandinavia. European costumers still like their germ(an)s.

Yes they do but you can't give up you have to slowly show them what Lexus is about and impress them. Sales are better and better there and hopefully will continue to improve.

Not too surprised with this news. LC is dramatic, beautiful and will make a huge statement... and will drive a lot of showroom traffic, even if just from people who want to see the car in person. Aside from LX 570 which is pretty low volume, Lexus dealers are starved for product in the $60K+ market right now... LS has historically been a big part of that, but is too old now.

As we know, RX L just can't come soon enough!

My needs are simple....looks like a LC with the MPG of a Prius, the sound of a V-10 while being a V-8 with turbos with space of a wagon with AWD but it's also a 4x4. Why is that so hard for a car brand to produce?!?!!?

All for under 30k rt?! Lol

The flagship models are all well and good, but if Lexus is going to expand into niche models could we PLEASE have an RC convertible?

Believe me James, I've been repping Toyota since 1998 thus an avid spokesperson for Lexus. During a field trip in high school I even dragged some of me mates and a Saab crazy teacher to the Lexus showroom to adore the IS200 mk1. I even wrote an essay about that car.

Long story short: I'll have my Lexus spell in the near future. Just gotta return to my early roots of Honda anytime soon.

Agreed. The LF-C2 Concept was beautiful!
