February Sales Off So Far
With the parsing of sales numbers now down to less than biweekly, J.D. Power and Associates' Power Information Network (PIN) has some very early February sales results. For the first twelve days of the month, the PIN says sales fell by eight percent, not including fleet sales. Honda was the only brand to post an increase in the abbreviated period, but GM and Toyota fell by a percent and Nissan, Ford, and DaimlerChrysler all were down. Honda, Power says, benefited from the positive PR spin of its various Car of the Year and Truck of the Year awards for its Civic lineup and Ridgeline truck. In terms of market share, GM, Nissan, and Toyota were on the upside, while DaimlerChrysler and Ford saw their early market shares for the month fall.

The current version still should be stealing sales from the 5 series but it's not. Even though I feel it's a better car. So no excuse.

The GS will continue its low sales for the bulk of the rest of the year as far as I can see.

WOW....thats a painfully low drop. GS430 on a special order basis only.
I understand the limited production thing, but thats kinda crazy. The 450h production just started, so I assume a big bulk of sales will be going there when it officially goes on sale next month or the month after.
IS-series is still pretty steady.
GS 300 1,771
GS 430 278
GS 430 278
IS-series is still pretty steady.
