Examining Subaru sales for last month, the Outback was up 1% over last April. That doesn't suggest that people are embracing the wagon yet. However, the Tribeca was up 13% I think it was.
Different parts of the country I guess. My wife had an RX330 and loved it. She said she doesn't want a minivan or station wagon though. I personally don't care. If I had my way I'd only buy 2-door coupes. I only have 1 kid though.

Lexus' lineup is smaller than its European rivals, there is definitely a lot of room for expansion. With Infiniti coming out with the G37 convertible soon...I hope Lexus also brings out the IS coupe/convertible soon (although I expect that vehicle will be more like a 3-series coupe fighter).

I would like to have a Lexus GS Hybrid Station Wagon.

To compete against the BMW 535xi SW.

In that case the GS hybrid needs to be offered with AWD first.

RELEASE THE DAMN LF-A!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No more SUVs/Crossovers please

Lexus has everything that can sell.......it needs a more sexy image
I agree!!! It is amazing how many versions of models BMW has versus Lexus.
How many 3 series versions are there, 323, 325, 328, 330, in hard top, 4door, two door, convertible , etc. I think Lexus should have already released a convertible and coupe version of the IS. And perhaps a IS300 with 6 speed manual as an option.
