However, as long as the rate stays around JPY80 range, we do not plan to decrease the sale unit level from 510,000.” Furthermore, he said “We have a certain degree of hedge since “RX” is also manufactured in Canada.”
2012’s target of 510,000 sales is an increase by 26% from last year result. On the other hand, Ohara shared his conservative goal for the Japanese sales target, stating “we are hoping to exceed last year sales of 43,000 units, even a little bit”

"As long as 80 yen against the dollar, we're not going to reduce sales levels of targeting 510000." he emphasized. Also he added that "RX has been in production in Canada, so we can offset the risk with it."
This year's goal of Lexus 510000 sales is expected to grow by 26% on last year's base. Ohara, however, pointed out the domestic Lexus sales, "Sales reached about 43000 last year, so we're expected to outsell that numbers even a little more."
