Toyota Says Farewell To Avalon And Lexus SC
Toyota announced this week that they will be cancelling the Avalon and the Lexus SC 430. Sales for the entry-level Avalon luxury sedan and the Lexus SC have slowed almost to a stand still. Neither models have been able to fit into a particular niche.
The Lexus was unable to compete well as a luxury level car and keep up with the competition that automakers like Porsche and Jaguar boasted. Through the first six months of this year, Lexus sold only 1,230 SC’s, down 40% from last year.
