As with its parent automaker Toyota, Lexus is on its way up and reported increased sales both for the last month and for the overall year.
With the same number of selling days in 2013 and 2012, Lexus reported annual sales of 273,847, representing a 12.2 percent increase over last year on both a DSR and raw-volume.
