73yo....also retired engineering manager. This F-Sport is a great sedate, (not...Look-at-Me) performance sedan that I plan on keeping for a long time. We are a family of motorheads....Father-in-Law is retire dragracer in several Hall of Fames. I've gone through my share of luxury cars and this fits the bill for me very well. If ego/status is you motive, you should go the Jaguar, BMW, Mercedes, Bentley route.

Hey all, fairly new here and just broke 1300 miles on my 2015 GS350. I'm 28, a dental manager, no kids, not married.

I previously came from a 2004 Acura TSX, which was one of the best 4-bangers around during that era. Sadly, I had to let it go a couple days ago because I don't drive it enough to justify paying insurance for it annually.

Switching from a 4-cylinder to a V6 is definitely noticeable - I love the growl the GS makes, and the pickup is just way faster than my previous TSX

I'm 34 not married no kids and I do F&I at a dealership. Traded my 10 maxima for the 13 FSport. Absolutely great car. I'm in and out of a lot vehicles due to being in the car business and nothing to me beats Japanese luxury. Wanted the awd due to the weather here in Pittsburgh.

The Lexus SC 300/400 was the car of my dreams, but I was too young and financially strapped to afford it. I bought a used '99 SC300, but by that time the technology was so outdated I traded it.
Being 69 gives you the advantage of now owning two truly great cars (among other things). Kudos to you as well for keeping your cars so long!thumbup:

I'm 27. No kids. Never married. I'm a Network Engineer. I traded my 07 escalade on 26" rims for the f sport and I couldn't be happier. The interior is gorgeous and the exterior is too... Easy choice in car.

I said i will have one someday, put a few posters on my wall and made it a point to acquire a new GS some day...in 2007, went out and got a new black GS350 2008 black on black with chrome 20s and got a promo a week later which helped instead of feeling hood rich, lol...in 2012, got a 2013 black on black GS350 with chrome 20s lol and still have it, i have been waiting for the GS-F and that is my next goal, the car looks amazing and 467hp is more than enough right now....everytime i thought about leaving my company, i usually get promoted lol....im like the rags to riches story in that place, out of highschool in the mail to account director ..lmao 14 years later

35 guy, not married...engaged, sports and entertainment insurance underwriter.

At a quick glance it appears your demographic is guys in their thirties. I'm guessing this is because these are educated professionals who are likely smart enough to do adequate research before buying a car like this and also likely to create a profile on a forum whereas someone who is older may not know to utilize this resource. If you're older than 50, no offense and props to you.

28 yo male, 3rd year student in medical school. Had a 2006 IS350 before this and GS is a much nicer car all around than the IS. No comparison.

Picked up my F Sport on my 55th birthday, pretty much retired management consultant who keeps getting dragged back into interesting turnaround situations. Married, one daughter at college. Had older BMWs as daily drivers for over 20 years, still have a '98 M3 Sedan I'm restoring now. My driving style is that of...a considerably younger person.

I didn't catch up to Lexus, they caught up to me. Boring *** cars until very lately. :-D

30 years old, upgraded to my 2013GS350 F Sport from my 2008 es350. Love the car. Purchased after months of research. I'm a manager for a major insurance company. My 3 year old daughter loves the car as well. If I'm not in my car I'm driving my old 98 Silverado, usually headed back from home depot.
