Lexus, wow the LS dropped 1,000 units. I am going to assume that is due to the LS debuting last Nov and also them dumping the LS 430 at bargain prices last year. ES is down 700 units.
GS is up 20% for the 350 and 10% for the 450/460!! Finally some good news. IS sales up 7%, remaining VERY solid!! RX flat, amazing for an older SUV. GX holding well too!!
SC is going to sell lower and lower till the new one arrives and the LX needs to arrive!

Infiniti is going to be in danger of being passed by Audi soon in America. They sold 10k units and Audi 8k in November. The EX will help sales though being a cute ute. The refreshned M35/45 got no bump, sales down 27%. G37 coupe sales up 75%, now that is a great lift for a new model!!
Wow, the GS/M35/45 race is close, with the GS up 2k units. THe IS/G sedan race is very very close!! Only a few units seperating the 2!! Fantastic work by both companies.

Please, Infiniti has nothing to worry about - Infiniti is up 2.1% for november, and Audi is down 1.1%. The trend is dictating that Infiniti is continuing to sell more cars, while Audi is selling less and less. If anything, Lexus should be worried about being passed by BMW soon.
