The LX570 is actually a huge success even with every other suv & every other Lexus/Toyota suv in the sales dump. The Sequoia as well.
"Almost inexplicably, the Sequoia fullsize SUV and Land Cruiser, as well as the Lexus LX 470, enjoyed sales increases. Land Cruiser volumes are extremely low, so not much is required to significantly move the needle (285 units this July vs. 163 last year), but Sequoia increased a hefty 50.4-percent increase and the Lexus LX rang in with an outsized 277.7 jump on 843 units sold.
In a situation that likely has GM's Hummer division seeing red, Land Cruiser sales are up a hard-to-ignore 95.8 percent for the year, with 2,772 total units, and Sequoia also is up a solid 32.1 percent. "
"Except for the Yaris on the car side and the Land Cruiser and Sequoia in the truck showroom, no Toyota car or truck posted a July sales increase.
The Tundra full-size pickup plunged 46.5 percent in July and is down 15.6 percent for the year as Toyota scrambles to reallocate U.S. Tundra capacity. Tundra is on pace to sell just 71,000 units this year; Toyota's original goal was 200,000 a year.
Every Lexus model, save the aforementioned LX, experienced a double-digit drop in sales. And the Lexus division increasingly is an overall albatross around the Toyota neck; in July, total Lexus sales amounted to just 22,182 units, an eye-opening 24.6-percent decrease from last year. Year-to-date Lexus division sales are off 15.7 percent."
