The RAV4 was Toyota's best selling hybrid in November, easily outpacing the Prius. The Highlander is hanging on pretty strong for being in it's last month or two of the current gen. But other than the ES, Lexus just struggles to move sedans in any meaningful numbers.

lexus flat this year despite introducing a 'volume' entry level cuv which should have really elevated the numbers overall.
toyota down a bit this year - the rav4 is huge but can't overcome downturn in several other models.

hyundai up 4% and i think they've stole some share from toyota.

genesis obviously had a crap fall last year and spring this year as they re-contracted their dealers, but over 2K sales for november is definitely better.

If it wasn't for the CX-5 Mazda probably wouldn't be in business in the US.

Lexus SUVs are 5.4% up for YTD?

As to the Toyota, luckily Avalon started sales in China and seems to be doing good there. Otherwise they are really cashing it in on the new Rav4.
