age has nothing to do with what you drive, as long as you can afford and enjoy it

I think that the LS use to be known as an older persons car. Now that the styling has improved more younger people are driving it.

Agreed COOLIS. I purchased mine at 31. I was always a fan of larger vehicles. Frankly, I think the reputation for being driven by older people is simply a result of economics. The overwhelming majority of people our age cannot afford one!

But one's vehicle is definitely a personal thing... I did review BMW's as it "seemed like what I should be looking at", but I just love the LS for it's tech, quality, power, luxury, reliability et al. Just this morning I was on in I-95 on my daily rip to the office. In clear view in front of me was: (3) 3-series, a (2) 5-series. I like knowing which car is mine in a parking lot without hitting my fob. Frankly, the interior and exterior feels so RICH. I don't know of another vehicle that delivers in the same way.

Purchased mine at 32. Love it.

Think outside the box - just cause people say BMW is for younger people and Lexus for older people doesn't mean you should believe it.

The new LS has cool exterior styling and lush interior. It can't be beat.

34, I wish i would have done it sooner.....too busy spending money on wine and women, (mostly on women....since I don't drink) Japanese cars are so much more luxurious than German in my opinion.

Yeah I purchased it @ 32 also. Love the looks of exterior and interior but wish it came with better looking rims.

Bought mine this year and I'm 24.

It's quite typical here to see young people (22 - 30) driving it, and overall it's a quite popular car.

If you like it and can afford it, why not get it?!?! I'm not going to wait till I turn 55 to get the car I've always wanted!

OT - Ben, do you have any pics of your LS that you could post? I'd like to see some larger pics of your wheels.

Got my first one at age 30...but would have gotten one sooner if the LS existed before I turned 30!

That being said, I could afford it. Don't become cash poor over ANY car. But if the dollars are not the issue, don't let "old man" comments deter you. Gramps!

I would have bought mine when I was 21, but that was 40 years ago and they didn't make them then!



(Let's see if any of these new math youngsters can figure out how old I am)
