So 2015, the 4th year the 4GS was available, was its best. It wasn't until 2016 that it started to decline.
and we all know 2015 was the year where lexus put out so much lease incentives (basically losing money on every GS they sold) trying to beat out the 5 series in sales number. it was great effort and tons of people benefited from it, me included. but we also know the consequences of that in 2016 how it backfired on lexus (not to mention 2017). so yes, lexus can do make consistent sales happen, but at what price?

and for the other posts, i did say we can totally try to compare how the s class and 7 series started in their current generation for the first 5-6 months and compare that to the LS, but i guess that post was conveniently ignored. keep in mind how we all say this 7 series is a pretty big failure and the s is a big hit
