Who was the best for 2024? There is no complete way to answer that question, really. Lexus likely makes fine profits with its relatively low sales, while Mazda’s sales have been rising but profits don’t seem to be following. We can, though, look at different segments and see who is leading them in U.S. sales, … Read more
