30,000 units for the first year, or 2,500 units per month, about on par with the new S-Class. Pretty ambitious but not impossible.

Also, I've always wondered how they arrived at the targeted sex demographic. Just by registration?

In a lot of families I know, they buy the car in the hustband's name, even if the primary driver will be the wife.

more than likely household income, meaning everything combined

Love to see them go up. Seems 70k is the new Lexus magic mark. They recognize Luxury is Luxury. Not I-4 offerings.....

ALso love the fact they recognize hybrid sales are tiny (5%) but still believe in it enough to MAKE the 600l h......

Not the same as a LS but not to shaby for a mini-van. Plus the the van has more leg room and 3rd row.

Seriously, why post this thing here when you obviously knew it's off-topic? You could've at least added something like "oh see the LS460 copied Odyssey's tail lights" and the post would've been more on topic. Otherwise, please stop cluttering a thread with long and totally irrelevant stuff.

Why are they expecting such a low percentage of LWB sales? For the 7, LWB sales are much more than 50%. For the S, they're obviously much more than 50%...

Also, what's up with wanting more males?
