Participant[quote=flu]I never understood why Lexus ES and RX were so popular here. I mean, the former being a Toyota Camry and Highlander with pleather and different body panels. The latter sharing enough with the Toyota highlander with pleather and different body panels. And how much more the Lexi (plural for Lexus?) were over the toyotas.
(Yeah, yeah before you folks get on the band wagon about saying Audis are rebadged VW’s. Platform sharing is not so extensive starting MK2002. And you can’t say the same thing about BMW or Mercedes)

Yep, Lexus auto sales down about half! Only 700 LS models sold in USA!! The 5 series BMW sold 3,200 last month. That is quite shocking, since Lexus became #1 luxury seller and could have gone on to outsell most luxury brands combined. Quick look at Carsdirect shows that new prices at Lexus are NOT discounted, but Infiniti cars and Acura SUVs are discounted.
Can someone post example of prices for 1.5yr Lexus?
The Toyota Division posted February sales of 96,475 units, a decrease of 37.5 percent from the same period last year. The Lexus Division reported February sales of 13,108 units, a decrease of 35.8 percent from the year-ago month.
Lexus passenger cars reported February sales of 6,093 units, a decrease of 48.0 percent from the year-ago month. Passenger car sales were led by the ES entry luxury sedan with February sales of 2,575 units. The IS entry luxury sport sedan posted combined sales of 2,147 units. The LS flagship luxury sedan recorded combined sales of 700 units. The GS luxury sport sedan reported combined February sales of 595 units.
Lexus Division light trucks recorded February sales of 7,015 units, down 19.5 percent from the year-ago month. Lexus sales were led by the RX luxury utility vehicle, which posted combined February sales of 6,218 units. The RX 400h hybrid luxury utility vehicle reported sales of 1,502 units for the month, up 36.3 percent over February 2008.
Sales of BMW brand vehicles decreased 37.5 percent in February for a total of 12,979 compared to 20,775 reported in the same month a year ago.
Total February sales for Acura tallied 7,659 units, down 39.0 percent compared to last year. Year-to-date Acura sales total 15,515 units.

March 13, 2009 at 10:32 PM in reply to: Jim Cramer gets Pounded by John Stewart on the Daily Show #365670Participant[quote=Chris Scoreboard Johnston]Ironically the times I have watched Kramer I thought he was funnier than that little punk Stewart anyway. I do recall him telling people that if they did not need their money in the next 3 years to get out of the stock market, and that was at significantly higher levels than where we are now, so not every one of them was wrong. Another example of how nobody takes responsibility for their own lives, everything is somebody else’s fault.
Even you liberals know the only reason he went after him at all is that he criticized Barry ( Obama ). He is a lifelong democrat but he went against the cause when he spoke his mind and now look what happened. They are trying to suppress dissent as much as they can, we will see more and more of this as we move along.
[/quote]It was great for Cramer to come on the show. And he did tell people in Oct that if they needed money in next five years they should get out of the market. As my hedge fund manager I expect him to do whatever it takes to make me money, including wining and dining with execs, giving money to Rep Frank to stop regulation, and pumping and dumping on CNBC. Cramer handled that deftly, but then got soft and appears to want to become known as a statesman kind of guy like Michael F Price (the Mutual Series fund family), who is donating buildings to charity:
http://www.aecom.yu.edu/home/pricecenter.aspThat being said, why does everything denigrate to “you h** liberals.?” Regardless of his motives, the question being raised was do hedge funds manipulate the market at the expense of the small investor? Does CNBC facilitate execs who come on the show and lie? Cramer said yes. That is the real story.
The first two months of President’s handling of the appointments and policies has not been great, to be very charitable. Cramer could have just used these lines from “Michael Clayton” movie instead of his other plea:
“I’m not a guy you kill! I’m the guy
you buy!
Are you so fucking blind you don’t see
what I am? I’m the easiest part of
your whole problem and you’re gonna
kill me? Don’t you know who I am?
I’m a fixer! I’m a bagman! I do
everything from shoplifting wives to
bent congressmen and you’re gonna blow
me up? ”Instead of co-opting Cramer and getting him to their side, these dopes try to fight him. The Clintons would never have let that happen.
And that’s why last time I checked conservatives control 90% of the radio stations in this country. Rush’s ratings are soaring.March 13, 2009 at 10:32 PM in reply to: Jim Cramer gets Pounded by John Stewart on the Daily Show #365959Participant[quote=Chris Scoreboard Johnston]Ironically the times I have watched Kramer I thought he was funnier than that little punk Stewart anyway.
