Is the new Legend selling well?

May I have a reputation point for it please? The red box is currently very ugly.

Nope, PQ points are only for technical posts.

Ah ok, it will be a while before I make it back to grey then.

Mercedes-Benz R-Class 33

Jaguar S-Type 18

Saab 95 6

Citroen C6 4

Volvo V70 4

Alfa Romeo 166 3.0 1

Lexus ES300 0

Peugeot 607 0

Volvo S80 0

Lexus ES300 0

Peugeot 607 0

Volvo S80 0


lol not suprised. those ES300's are fugly imo.
116 BMW 5 series though didnt know they were that popular...

[IS250]

Yeah, the ES300 really looks terrible! What on earth were they thinking with those headlights?
They should push as hard as they can to bring the ES350 in quickly. That thing actually looks pretty good.

es350 looks like a bloody new camry.. the es300 looked like the old camry.. just being lazy and updating the design a bit and slapping a Lexus badge on it.
i've seen only one new legend.. it was maroon in colour.. wat a waste of money

[EuroDude]

Yep its unfortunate how Lexus used Toyota chassis for many of their models, especially since the Toyota designers are terrible at designing car shapes. Their new colour coded hog-nose grill signature is a rip off of Mazda and looks so wrong lol

That Lexus 4WD is the worst, it looks exactly like a Landcruiser but has a Lexus badge. wth were they thinking

[IAMVTEC]

I'm OK with them using Toyota chassis, Lexus is Toyota after all. But I think Toyota do give the more stylish designs to Lexus, like how a IS250 looks similar to a Camry from the rear but so much better and slicker.

[EuroDude]

The IS series is an exception, they aren't based on a toyota chassis and look great. I think the Lexus design team created the IS series from scratch.

Toyota should use Lexus' design team lol

the legends are selling OK, but how much legend marketing have you seen?
i think i've seen like one 15sec tv spot and no print advertising.
do they think they'll sell the car from workd of mouth alone? f*ck no!

as much as sales are improving for honda australia (well ahead of their target) they need to pull out their finger out their ass.

here they have a fabulous car with the legend and most of the market dont even really know about it. the only people that would really know about it would be current honda owners that are regularly at their dealer for servicing.

honda only expect each dealer to sell one a month...

we have sold around 7 so far but we always have been a strong legend dealer

last i heard we (Travis Honda) had sold the highest percentage of legends state wide

yeah strange that, there are heaps of jazz/euro/civic/odyssey adverts, yet rarely any legend ads.. (or even the Thai Accord for that matter)

Although I guess its wiser to put their advertising budget towards the better selling models..

[aaronng]

That's because no one made a Legend ad.

The Jazz ad is from the UK, Euro probably as well. The Civic and odyssey are local.
