Lexus

[b4u2]

Hi 👋 regards from the 🇺🇸 

Here now to visit and noticed Lexus are much more popular than the 🇬🇧 

Seen many more here in a day than UK in a month or more.

Just an interesting observation as a different market.

I think this may be because us Brits are more badge conscious than the Americans and Lexus is regarded here as a sort of posh Toyota with none of the  neighbour impressing aura that the German manufacturers have cultivated. Over there an import is just that , there is no differentiation as to where it came from.

Just my opinion.

Most Lexus models sold in the North American market are also produced in the States, Very few are imported

Many models are, IIRC all RHD models are made in Japan, whilst many but not all LHD models are made in North America.

I think the original history of Lexus was very much to target the US market which has proved a successful strategy.
