It would appear from the rave reviews that the LC should be able to lead the way with the fix to the sedans and coupes. GA-L will be the new platform for the LS too, but these 2 cars are very expensive and they need to do something for the less expensive part of the car lineup, such as the GS, IS, and perhaps the ES. Changes take time, but it would be nice to hear about some concrete plans for the GS and IS. I have been considering a sedan as a compliment for my coupe, but I find it hard to get excited about the GS and Lexus hasn't said much about its plan for the GS, such as putting it on the GA-L platform, which should improve its ride.
Neither the LC or LS is going to fix anything in regards to sales -- this is more an industry shift than specifically about Lexus. I think the days of cars is coming to a close.
Really, you should look at an RX to compliment your LC. :grinning:
So we have a problem
Toyota must have body on frame suv / cuv
Lexus needs to kill the ES
Enlarge the GS to it's first generation lenght which is 4:90 then enlarge the IS to 4:70 for better competition especially at the rear seats
By this they can have much competitor agile sedan lineup with their related coupe lineup
In the CUV side , turn the LX to a crossover rear wheel drive based on the same GA-L , with the GX as its younger brother as the same relation LS to GS
Upscale the Avalon as a true lineup flagship with luxurious comfort side way as SLS to Cadillac in the past, this will make the camry even more free , which will effects all the yota lineup
Yes, car sales are down but not to the extent that Lexus car sales are down. It appears that there is more to the story for Lexus. As tired as you are of hearing about the spindle grill it may be that buyers are tired of seeing it.Very tired of hearing people blame car sales dip on spindle. Sedans are being over taken by SUVs industry wide.

Large vehicle sales are up and car sales are down with out question, but the numbers for Lexus are below other manufacturers, and last month for Lexus both car and large vehicle sales were down (lexusenthusiast.com/2017/04/03/lexus-march-2017-sales-report/) . So even though the numbers were relatively better for Lexus Trucks than they were for cars, they were still down and larger than the competition. This goes against the trend for Toyota/lexus so what's the reason? The more aggressive design may have something to do with it. I'm sure some buyers like the look, although it seems many don't. Regardless of what they design and build, they will sell to a certain extent, although its beginning to appear many will buy somewhere else, or at least delay purchases until the design changes.is this why they are buying Lexus SUVs with even bigger spindle instead? If we go by that, then sedan spindle is too small
