Luxury Segment Set For Sales Boom?
According to recent Autobytel Consumer Choice purchase request data, online interest in luxury vehicles rose significantly in the third quarter and is poised for a strong fourth quarter.

Requests for the Lexus RX 330 were up 25 percent over the same time period, a sign of confidence and, perhaps, of new buyers entering the luxury market.
