Default How many 2013 LS 460s have you seen?

I made an observation as I was going to work today. I live in the Washington metropolitan area (DMV)where there plenty of affluent individuals. I have honestly seen more Tesla Model S cars then the 2013 LS. I have seen no more than 2 LS since January whereas I counted 8 Teslas. I know sales of the LS have been respectable but maybe I'm having bad luck seeing them. What say you?

I've only seen 2 on the streets since they hit the showroom... 1 Obsidian (driving through BK) and 1 DSM (driving through QNS).

There's an F in my division and another about 2 blocks away that I see almost daily. Then there's a regular SWB I see every Saturday that belongs to the owner where I get breakfast.

I have seen four 1 LWB, 2 F sports and one SWB.

Sales are pretty good.

Went to dinner the other night at a crowded restaurant. There was only one open parking spot around the side. As I was pulling in, I noticed the parked car on the right was a CLONE of my 2013 LS460 (same color, interior, wheels, major options). Proof positive there are pod people about!

I've only seen 2 or 3 2013 LS's in our area myself...

I too have seen a LOT of Teslas, really surprising how many actually.

No LS's or Teslas in the Reno, Nevada area. But I have seen a few 2013 ES350's and even more 2013 Avalons. All the Avalon drivers were seniors so apparently Toyota has not completely alienated them with the sportier looks and firmer ride. BUT, on the Toyota Nation forum some Avalon drivers have been said front seats are not comfortable for longer trips.

I've started seeing a lot of 2013 ES's, and am seeing more 2013 GS's, although the car is still pretty rare.

I think it just takes time to get enough of them out there on the road to start seeing them regularly.
