This is stunning news, considering how well all the other
manufacturers are doing these days. Any other sales statistics for us,
john?

Mercedes is offering 3.9% financing, and BMW is so desperate they'll
maintain the car for you for free for four years if you'll buy one.

Not to worry, john, I've just bumped the Lexus figure by one for
December - I'm picking up my new GS350 next week. Black on black, AWD,
and Mark Levinson. It's gorgeous, and it sounds great, too! Nicest
dolled-up Toyota I've ever owned. I can hardly wait!
