If it wasn't for the ES, the Lexus sedan sales would be pretty pathetic. The new GS and IS are not coming fast enough.

It looks like the RX330 is Lexus' best selling, followed by the ES330, than the GX470, with the LX430 coming in a close 4th. Two SUV's in the top three spots. I guess like every other manufacturer, the SUV is still the big seller.

Yup, and it shows if you take notice on the streets... a friend just bought an '04 RX; saw her at the dealership and was like "Why don't you pick up an '05 w/ the 18's, and we can swap rims!" Uuuughhh... She said she didn't care what the rims look like. Regardless, this is the best vehicle I've ever owned.
