Umm guys I feel like maybe a little too personal and aggressive on some of these posts...remember we are one family here on LE!
I mean lets be honest, Lexus should outsell Porsche, even in Europe, due to volume, sales targets and entry level offerings.
I still like their cars, the CUVs/SUVs are another story...probably why they seem 'feminine'wow
Nice news
Porsche is dead for me anyway with it's feminine designs
"Europe" sales numbers of TMC include Russia and Turkey. There they sell great. In western Europe, the only part of the world called "Europe" (not Russia for F.... sake) Lexus doesn't do so great. And anything especially designed for Europe will hardly make any impact (like the CT).
Edit from @krew: Cars, not politics.

Lexus sold less than 100 cars last year in Turkey. However, models like C-HR and Corolla sell a lot since they are manufactured in Turkey. Lexus really is following a wrong strategy over here. They market themselves as they were a tier above the german 3, but the marketing is not supported by the products so they aren’t really getting anywhere.
Israel which is part of Lexus Europe saw sales increase of 171.6% to 220 units last month.Besides restating the major conclusions of the Lexus Europe 2018 sales report, the European version of the "10 millionth Lexus" news release notes that Lexus aims to sell 100,000 vehicles in Europe in 2020 (vs 76,188 in 2018).
Don't forget VitaraSuzuki with the Ciaz, Swift and the new jimny, it's a return and good one
I think Acura is only available in Ukraine. They exited Russian market in 2014. Nearest market to Europe is Kuwait.With Infiniti dropping out of Western Europe it will help Lexus a bit with sales but continue to hurt with the image of Japanese luxury. With Acura non existen and Honda struggling its just Lexus/Toyota.
