A latecomer to the market, Lexus has seen sales in its Latin America region - which includes South America, Central America and the Caribbean - rise by 32 percent so far this year, on top of a similar performance in 2015, Lexus executives said. It has been the fastest-growing region for the brand globally over the last two years.
