2020 Toyota/Lexus Sales

If Lexus actually launched the LC properly with Coupe and Convertible about 1 year apart and then the high performance LCF shortly after - i think it would have sold MUCH better. It has received amazing press reviews and I personally know how good the car is to drive. Unfortunately with little marketing support and poor rollout of full model range = poor sales. The other limitation is limited customization which is extremely important to enthusiasts who buy a car like this especially at $100k plus.

You should post what cars brands actually did increase their passenger cars for reference.

If you look at the numbers, the LS is down 34.6% for 2020....that's about one-third, not half. Nevertheless, I partially agree with you that the LS sales are suffering because they screwed up a (formerly) good design.

Had nothing to do with 2020 for Buick ...Lacrosse was to illustrate how bad sedan sales were before it was canned......All new redesign of sedans are declining. Show me a sedan that is up on sales from the previous redesign....LS sedan sales are down (just to blame it only on the design is wrong)...for anyone to suggest/imply they might have increased from the previous redesign is just silly and pathetic
The only sedan that is actually increasing in sales is the Tesla 3...(but that is not a redesign)
Lexus LS should not be redesigned and should be cancelled...this should be the last model and Lexus should build a crossover LS to replace it. Avalon should not redesigned either. Move it to crossover

Just my $0.02......

Yes, we are definitely in a SUV and truck market, but the drop off in sales for the LS is concerning, especially for the flagship of Lexus. I am concerned that the LS may become history, sooner than later.
Will be very interesting to see how all the upcoming redesigns for the larger Toyota/Lexus SUVs and Tundra pan out.

Can’t believe people are still defending LS500 lol.
If you had extensive experience in LS430 and LS460 - the LS500 was a completely different car. Its not a flagship.
LS used to outsell Sclass, now it can’t outsell Genesis G90.

Jill, you are correct. Maybe the LS has lost its luster all together? Those sales figures don’t lie. Seems to do well after a redesign, then not so much a year or two later. Certainly, the low sales can’t continue. Not sure about total worldwide sales, but US is in the dumps.
They would miss out on larger SUVs, if they focus on smaller models. If the Sequoia is done nicely, it should sell very well.
I would never consider a new rig, if it has been out since 2008, without a total redesign. I am interested in the new Sequoia if/ when it comes out. I would also consider the new LX, depending on price.
I am very interested in the Genesis GV80, but will wait until the hype dies down to test drive one. Plus with Covid, I am barely driving. Once Covid ends, I may be in the market.
