2018 Lexus LS Sedan Launches Around the World

I never expected it to do this well.

Good for Lexus in Japan, it'll keep the factories busy. I guess the Japanese government needs new limos lol.

They don't drive Lexus.

As to the sales, to see how high this is, it is 25÷ of all Lexus sales in Japan for the year.

Smart perspective, wish I had thought to add that to the post!

You mean they're chauffeured...:blush:

If Lexus is smart, Lexus of Japan at least, they'll accept Bitcoin for payment in Japan. It is legal tender as a currency there since April, and it has appreciated over 800% since the first of the year.

Great way to get people to actually pay much more than MSRP for a car, assuming Lexus would be smart enough to hold the Bitcoins, instead of trading them for dollars at the close of business, daily.....

Just sayin'.....

It sounds like the LS will do well in Asia (err China), which IMO, is becoming the more important market to grow in; in the US, it isn't as promising just because of the hot crossover/SUV trend.

Well, that price drop is pretty much expected as those small 6-cylinder trims are the best selling in Asia. However that 3.5L displacement really hurts when all its competitors are 3.0L.

Sucks for the GS, since the 450h is almost as expensive as the LS350 so nobody will ever buy one.

Are people buying the GS 450h right now?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that a big price jump compared to the 2017 LS base price? Wow for some of the midrange and high end Lexus models, the price differentials between Canada and US are increasing.
