Default Lexus needs more dealers North of Sacramento

I think it's pretty asinine that the northern most Lexus dealers in CA are in Sacramento, completely ignoring the rest of the state that lies beyond. I truly believe Lexus loses sales because of this since most people don't want to drive for hours to the nearest Lexus dealer for service should something go wrong.

Redding, Chico, Yuba City/Marysville and maybe even Eureka/Arcata could all support a Lexus dealer. Chico already has Mercedes, BMW, and Volvo. Both Redding and Chico metro areas are over 100,000 people and growing. Time to stop ignoring the North State, Lexus.

Ha! Maybe so.

I can't help but think of other places where there is no Lexus presence. They still seem to have too few dealers.
