I dunno if that's young... I guess it's young compared to the average ES buyer at 61...

Looks like for 2007, most of the IS buyers were between 16-35 years old.

I'm sure that's the case when you average all the Lexus models together. But as for the IS, it's mostly for younger drivers. The IS is a small and sporty car. The ES is a bigger and cushier car that the old folks like. The IS and the ES are Lexus's top sellers and priced similarly, but the ES outsells the IS, so that drives up the average age for all Lexus cars.
