Yup. LX and GX need major updating and fast. Imagine the sales of LX and GX if updated. Toyota / Lexus missing the boat. Just add Apple Car Play to LX and that alone might bring in more sales.

Especially considering that the S-class is a 6 year old design and heading into a complete redesign next year and the LS is in it's second year of an all new design. Simply unbelievable that Lexus allowed it's once dominant flagship fall so far.

Lexus has a history of letting its low volume cars languish. The previous GS and now the current GS and IS so dont be surprised if the LS is joining them.

Agreed. It’s embarrassing how far the LS has fallen. Some would argue that the LS has lost some of its luxury and refinement. I hate that Lexus does not update sooner, instead it’s stale for several years and people have moved on to better things.

still astounding the S-class is outselling LS by 3:1.
the RX is still selling very well, a testament to its stellar reputation and likely large percentage of repeat buyers/leasers. the UX has helped Lexus overall numbers.

Do people actually stop considering a car because it lacks AA or apple CarPlay? If you really liked a vehicle, that shouldn't stop you from buying it. I hardly use mine. A wireless version like BMW and Audi would be a much better improvement though.
