Let's see. I thought the HS250h was also relatively successful in Japan.

HS is Lexus best seller in Japan. Japan really likes hybrids and Japan is really big on buying a new car initially and sales taper off. This is not surprising, the LS sold like 1,000 percent past projections in Japan back in 2007.

Yes, the HS is quite popular in Japan too. This is good for the CT in Japan. How the CT will do in Europe and North America remains to be seen.
