looks like toyota and lexus could drop all sedans except the corolla and camry (and maybe avalon and lexus es) and not miss much of anything!
and cheap gas will continue this trend... people like room with a view
which means cuvs, suvs, and trucks.
another anecdote - i was just in western canada (whistler and downtown vancouver - fabulous places and in vancouver, TONS of luxury cars), and saw 4 lexus vehicles in total (one each is, rx, and rc), and 1 (gs) was a courtesy vehicle for the hotel, which was apparently sponsored by lexus because they had the lexus 'book' in every room and area! come on lexus, you can do better in that prosperous area!!!

Still way more than the GS450h and the LS600hL combined though if the past is any indication.
In fact, even with sales in the teens, the RLX Hybrid has been the best selling $50k+ hybrid luxury car in the US for a while. There's just sadly very little appetite for luxury hybrids here.

Mb c/e/s sold 2-3x lexus is/gs/ls counterparts, although es provides the biggest sedan sales for lexus. Lexus tends to be more stingy on inventory though and lacks the variety of vehicle engine choices and trim levels.

Honduh : That is weird...CRV is down 17%! Is the new Civic cannabilizing its sales or is it getting long in the tooth?
Nissan : they had huge incentives on the Maxima and Murano last month ($2200 rebates), and it shows.
Toyco : considerin cheap gas and the weird styling, the new Prius sedan actually did well (-10%), while its sibling did awful!

Hyundai
Hyundai Motor America today reported its best January in company history, selling 45,011 units for the month, up 1 percent versus the same period last year.
“We were able to capitalize on demand in the crossover segment with Tucson sales soaring 72 percent for the month,” said Derrick Hatami, vice president of national sales for Hyundai Motor America. “We’re poised to grab more of this segment as we introduce our refreshed Santa Fe and Santa Fe Sport models next week at the Chicago Auto Show. Additionally, the all-new 2017 Elantra has begun hitting showrooms and based on the positive media response at our launch last week, we expect to see great things from Elantra in 2016.”
Other standouts include Veloster with sales up 55 percent; Sonata up 23 percent (both, best January ever); and Accent, up 14 percent for the month.

Subaru
Subaru of America, Inc. today reported 41,101 vehicle sales for January 2016, a one (1) percent increase over January 2015. These results continue the company’s sales momentum from 2015 where Subaru achieved seven consecutive years of record sales and exceeded 580,000 annual sales – a first in company history.
January marked the 23rd consecutive month of 40,000+ vehicle sales for the company. Forester, Legacy and Crosstrek sales were notably strong as each model line achieved its best January ever. Legacy sales for January 2016 increased 15 percent over the same month in 2015. BRZ also enjoyed gains over January 2015.
Six 2016 Subaru models, the Legacy, Outback, Forester, Impreza, WRX and Crosstrek, recently earned Top Safety Pick+ honors from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) when equipped with optional EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology. Subaru also earned Kelley Blue Book’s prestigious Best Resale Value Brand Award for the second consecutive year and four vehicle segment awards – Compact Car Category: 2016 Subaru Impreza; Sporty Compact Car Category: 2016 Subaru WRX; Mid-Size Car Category: 2016 Subaru Legacy; and Best Resale Value Top 10 Category: 2016 Subaru Forester.
“Subaru of America closed calendar year 2015 strongly and recorded our seventh consecutive year of record sales so it is fantastic that our sales momentum is continuing into 2016 with the best January sales in our franchise’s history,” said Thomas J. Doll, president and chief operating officer. “Subaru is experiencing tight supply in the first quarter of 2016 and we expect this situation to improve as the year progresses.”
“Our retailers are doing a great job of welcoming more new customers to our brand along with supporting our industry-leading loyalty,” said Jeff Walters, senior vice president of sales. “Providing a great purchase and ownership experience is key to our growth and they continue to do just that.”

Kia
After setting an all-time annual sales record in 2015, Kia Motors America (KMA) recorded best-ever January sales of 38,305 vehicles. Kia’s 9th consecutive monthly sales record was driven by sharp increases over the same period last year for the Soul urban passenger vehicle, Sportage CUV and Sedona minivan.
“Despite fewer selling days and record snowfall up and down the East Coast, our dealers worked diligently with customers who continue to discover the world-class products and ownership experience that encompasses the ‘New Kia,’” said Michael Sprague, chief operating officer and EVP, KMA.
