For example, the Acura RDX sold 11 times more often than the Infiniti EX in May. The BMW 5-Series sold 13 times more often the Jaguar XF; and 122 times more often than the Acura RL. And in the relatively tight large luxury SUV arena, the Chevrolet Tahoe sold seven times more frequently than the Toyota Sequoia.
The Lexus LS, however, sold once for every 2.5 BMW 7-Series sedans. That's not good news for Lexus, but it means that, because of the nature of the segment, being a basement dweller in the large luxury car category means you're not producing a car that's as far back from the pack as is often the case. Besides, year-to-date, the Lexus LS is outselling the Jaguar XJ and Audi A8.

Through five months, the market has grown 13%. The Infiniti QX56, Lexus LX570, Mercedes-Benz GL-Class, and Toyota Land Cruiser have basically equalled or bettered that pace.
