KEVIN Flynn has quit Lexus GB as general manager only weeks before the launch of the IS200 sports saloon, which is expected to be the company's biggest fleet seller to date.

Flynn has spent almost five years with Lexus, and has seen the marque through considerable growth, with last year's sales up 60%. He is to take up a new appointment as managing director of AFN dealer group. Andy Goss, sales director of Toyota GB, will take charge of Lexus until a replacement is found.
