Luxury Car Sales Down

More Americans Are Steering Clear of Luxury Vehicles
With gas prices up and deep car discounts on the "Big 3" automaker’s vehicles, luxury car sales are down this month.
It seems most people are having trouble paying the exorbitant prices for luxury vehicles these days, especially during the holiday season.
While these numbers fluctuate greatly from month to month, this appears to be part of a trend that surely disturbs luxury automakers.
Interestingly enough, Lexus had a banner year:
Lexus sold 151,226 cars, up 15,000 units, while its trucks (all SUVs) were close to even at 151,669, one-to-one with cars. Thus Lexus exceeded 300,000 for the first time, well ahead of all other luxury brands.
