Before we just to this conclusion, we don't have a large enough sample size to see how much of a problem it is. Again, the ES did win an initial quality award. 76k just were sold.
I still will not say the ES is hugely problematic. Some cars, for some reason, have this tranny glitch. We have tons of HAPPY owners on this site for instance.

BTW....It has been rumored that Santa and God are tight, Santa might have a bone to pick with you next Christmas for using a damning expression tied to his bud on that thread where the pics did not work...

Now hold that thought above and pretend you are the CEO of Toyota overseeing Lexus passenger car sales and I believe you will see the point genreach seemed was trying to make and I was pointing out as a result of responses to his keen business insight.
You cannot have one of your best selling models on Lexus side be the most problematic whilst witnessing a decline in sales on all other models with near zero problems by comparison, except one other, the IS.
I now understand exactly why, nearly every chance he gets in world publications, the CEO is prepping the public on quality issues. He already knew the above long before we did and he is laying ground work to deal with the resultant bad PR go he is going to have to deal with over it.
And whoever or whatever internal group within Lexus released that spreadsheet containing mathematical errors into the public domain is not helping him either, it looks bad.

Trucks continued to dominate U.S. vehicle sales in 2006.
Another year of auto sales is complete, and while total sales dropped just 2.6 percent, the mix of cars and trucks has changed. Full-size pickups continue to be the most popular vehicles with U.S. buyers; however, truck sales are down 6.7 percent compared to sales in 2005.
Total sales show the Ford F-Series and Chevrolet Silverado as the top two sellers in the country, followed by the Dodge Ram in fourth, according to sales information published by Automotive News.
The Toyota Camry remains the top-selling passenger car in America. Third in sales overall, the sixth-generation 2007 Camry went on sale in March 2006 with modern styling, more performance and improved driving dynamics. Toyota also debuted a gasoline-electric hybrid version of the midsize sedan with the 2007 Camry Hybrid.
The Honda Accord follows the Camry as the second best-selling passenger car, landing in the fifth spot overall. Honda's Accord is followed by its smaller sibling, the Civic, which is the sixth-best-selling vehicle overall. With an updated look inside and out, the Accord is also offered in a gasoline-electric hybrid version. Also available as a hybrid, the Civic Hybrid is all new for 2006 with updated styling, more performance and additional safety equipment.
The Ford F-Series has been the best-selling vehicle in America for the past 24 years and the best-selling truck for the past 29. The Chevrolet Silverado is only second to the F-Series in U.S. sales. However, when combining all full-size trucks from General Motors—Silverado combined with the GMC Sierra—the GM offerings are currently leading the Ford F-Series by just over 50,000 units. The two GM trucks are counted separately though, since they are different vehicle brands.
Rounding out the top ten are two additional products from Chevrolet—the Impala in seventh and the Chevrolet Cobalt in tenth—and two imports, with the Toyota Corolla in eighth and the Nissan Altima in the ninth position. Chevrolet continues as the manufacturer with the most models in the top ten.
The Dodge Caravan falls off the top ten list, but remains the best-selling minivan as the 11th-best-selling vehicle in America. Sales of large SUVs continue to drop, likely due to the higher fuel prices—the top SUV is the Ford Explorer, in 13th place.
Here are the top ten bestsellers in America for 2006, based on data published by Automotive News.
1. Ford F-Series 796,039
2. Chevrolet Silverado 636,069
3. Toyota Camry 448,445
4. Dodge Ram 364,177
5. Honda Accord 354,441
6. Honda Civic 316,638
7. Chevrolet Impala 289,868
8. Toyota Corolla 272,327
9. Nissan Altima 232,457
10. Chevrolet Cobalt 211,449
