Looks like RXL finally helps RX, 8849 last year vs 9697 this year.
LS only hit above the 1000 mark once.

RAV4 killing it especially given it's in last model year.
Corolla numbers, also an outgoing model, must be pulling down overall results, along with the shift from Prius to conventional model hybrids.

The new RAV4 is going to explode sales. The icky styling is gone and a very attractive, butch look is ready to fly out of the dealers.

Park one next to a Tiguan and make VW cry.
