Really? I'm so exhausted after watching my son Saturday and Sunday if my wife is busy on the weekends. I could never do it full time. My son is 2 1/2, but he is very well behaved.

Ya, nice arrangement, that's a nice 'gift'.

18, turning 19 this year. I grew up with a 5 series and I've always loved mid size sedans. 5 series, e class, gs, a6, etc. Always thought they offered the best combination of luxury and performance and the best exterior designs. I absolutely hated entry levels for as long as i can remember so getting a IS was never considered, i hate small cars

My parents are paying for my car btw if anybodies wondering

Why is it that every GS (even F-Sports!) I see is driven by a lady of a "certain age"?

I'm convinced they have no idea what they're driving and (no offense) were upsold from ES by some slick salesman.

Definitely a different demographic from what you see on line and on this forum.

I think Lexus still has a problem selling to younger folks. The RC F should cure that!

64 here. I don't know why but I am surprised that a mid-sized, four door, sedan like this would appeal to the younger crowd. "Different strokes..." I guess.

32 and drive a new GS450h. This is my 36th car. Last year drove a 2011 CT200h, 2012 Prius, 2012 Cayman, 2013 TL, 2013 MDX, 2007 M35X, and 2009 Toyota Tundra. Not in that order. I like to change things up a bit and have a good assortment to choose from. I unloaded everything and just have the MDX and GS450h at the moment.

A more revealing poll would be the results by age for preference of F-Sport version vs. Luxury/Premium. I think it might skew even younger in Favor of F-Sport.

I'm one of the "old" guys. I prefer the Luxury/Premium over the F-Sport, mostly because the engines are identical, so the extra money wasn't worth a bumper my old guy conservative sensibilities found less attractive.

Same here, I went with the Lux even though I like how the F-Sport looks.

I went with the Lux because I want the Lux options.

Hey, it's your car right? Everybody around me loves the GS but I had a few uncles criticize me for not getting the 535i. They quickly shut up though after a quick drive around the block lol.
