Speeding toward the top

The Lexus ES330 -- shown here at Kuozui Motors -- has dominated the local market with a record 130,000 units sold this year, the highest sales ever for a single brand. Toyota has maintained its No. 1 ranking in the local market for three straight years. Lexus now has an opportunity to outsell both BMW and Mercades-Benz in the imported luxury car market for the first time.Dec 13, 2004
