摘要

Compared with the LS and ES, the IS has never been much of a performer for Toyota Motor Corp.'s Lexus luxury division. The entry sport sedan at its peak sold 22,486 units (2001) and this year is dying a slows painful death, with just 2,617 units moved in the first six months. Next to the mighty BMW 3-Series, which tallied 48,953 units in the same period, the IS has been a dud. Still, company officials say it brought a younger demographic into the brand, with an average buyer age of 29. Now, with the '06 IS poised to launch in October, Lexus says it expects a whopping 600% annual sales hike. That expectation at first appears to be an exaggeration, but this is the same company that called for quadrupling sales of its perennially underperforming GS midsize sport sedan - and is meeting that target. Lexus has its work cut out. Just as there is an all-new IS, there is a new 3-Series, which by almost all reviews is a stellar offering, unlikely to cede its place at the top of the lower luxury segment anytime soon.
