The Panamera is not the "best seller". YTD the S-Class is easily outselling it 4109 to 2690. The BMW 7 Series is still #2 at 2860. The LS is at a tragic 1878. And both the S and 7 have been out for several years yet still blowing away the almost new LS. Even the CT6 is beating the LS in sales, with 2188 YTD excluding April sales. Yep. The CT6 outsold the LS by over 300 units YTD even though LS sales included April and CT6 sales did not. The LS did manage to edge out the Lincoln Continential's 1734 units sold by 144 cars.
So, it has nothing to do with "die hard 1-4LS fans because it is not 1989, 2000, or 2007 anymore" and everything to do with Lexus turning the LS into a car that alienated it's traditional buyers yet doesn't really appeal to new customers either. Their marketing department is questionable. NX sales were double what they expected while LS has have been far less than expected. Somebody isn't doing their homework and surely doesn't understand the market either way.

Nobody comparing a CT6 to any of the Germans or the LS. Lincoln too? That ain't it chief. I know there are folks happily driving Buicks for all I care, but come on now... Smh.
I was sarcastically jabbing with the other poster who was jabbing the 5LS sales in this thread and in previous "hate" threads started by you. You can leave me alone now.
