I have a 2002 Lexus RX and 2004 G35 coupe. The Infiniti is actually holding up much better and driven way more aggressively. A little surprising. I am waiting to see what the IS350 and G37 will look like in 2014...oh the anticipation

Just sold our gx470 earlier this year. Mileage was over 160k. Never had a problem with it. I've had sc300's and an sc400. Brother still has an ls430 with 204k miles with no problems yet and other bro has an ls460. In law has an rx330

My current is a Mitsubishi Raider Duracross V8 and l love it. Mid size but bed is long enough for my bike

2006 zx10r Solar pearl for fun

Wife drives the Oddyssey. Love it though.

I wouldn't buy another Lexus at the moment unless they came out with a truck or van

I own an SC300 and a LS430, but I also have a 99 Saturn SL2 and 99 Chrysler 300. I recently had an 03 Honda Accord and an 05 350z, but the Accord got totalled in a hail storm and my parents sold the Z.

I own a ES300, and RX300 but also have a winter beater Accord. I recently got rid of my Grand Caravan that I used to haul around random crap from Home Depot in but I got tired of fixing the damn thing. I may be buying my uncle's SC400, he's giving me a ridiculously good deal, I'd be stupid to say NO, but I don't need a second extra car.

The second gen GS is what got me into Lexus. The gs400 was the fastest sedan at the time and I loved the look. It was the first car I bought for myself, a 2000 gs400. Been here ever since and would like to have another Lexus as a daily driver in the near future.

I'm shopping for a 2013 ES/GS no decision yet on which one. I drive a 2006 Toyota Corolla to work 90 miles round trip. I've got 150k mile and hoping for another 100k. Wife drives a 2011 Toyota Avalon and we have a 2006 Tahoe 4x for weekend fun and camping trips with the grand kids.

See sig. I'm currently trying to sell my GTA and Ducati to help fund an LS600hL (non-spindle). As much as I love Lexus, I will never own a spindle product.

Still have my 12 year old GS400. It's been tamed a bit and the wife drives it now but it's been absolutely fantastic! I am now driving a 2010 Lincoln MKS w/Ecoboost. Though it generates a lot of hate to me "is nice". :-)

Coming from a 1994 Supra TT, i decided on a 1999 GS300 when our daughter was born. Have had it until recently, when i sold it to buy a 2010 Toyota Avensis that i accidentally came by at a reasonable price. I have now had this Toyota for a few months and i'm glad to report that i actually was at my local Lexus dealer and test drove a 2007 GS450h today! Wow, that thing really hauls ***!

To sum it up, I'm definately joining the Lexus comuinty again, and this time it's gonna take a lot more than a good deal on a Toyota to lead me astray!
