Looks like Asian car makers are people too, and they can make mistakes. The future models Lexus SC 430 and Toyota Avalon have been canceled due to the poor sales recorded by the present generation.
According to sources inside Toyota, the Japanese manufacturer has cancelled the development of future generation Lexus SC 430, and maybe the future Toyota Avalon sedan will share the same fate. The reason for this move is quite simple, weak sales for the first six months of this year, only 1230 Lexus cars being sold, decreasing by 40% over last year.
Interestingly, however, is that Lexus will launch a much more expensive super-car , at the earliest next year, the brand new Lexus LF-A. Regarding Avalon, Toyota wants to replace it in 2011 with the new generation Camry available in a version with increased wheelbase.
