I've seem many crazy drivers in all sorts of cars Lexus included. Lexus is not immune. It's not the car, but the nut behind the wheel. If I do notice anything with Lexus drivers is the ES300 drivers for some reason are the most aggressive. Probably because they are just so noticeable since there are so many of them on the street. Then the IS drivers, then the SC drivers.

Honestly I've rarely seen a Lexus driver do something stupid. Most use their signal and are in the middle lane. Most Lexus, even modded, I see just cruising along their merry way.

Any problem I've noticed its people trying to park their Lexus, I've seen a few women give me a chuckle in a Lexus SUV.

I am with Chris that I do find the ES drivers the most aggresive.

As much as I love lexus to most, non cl members they are the japanese BMW and are driven by yuppies. I think the worst are the RX drivers, usually women that tailgate. IS, GS and SC drivers drive fast, but they don't weave in and out of lanes or tailgate. Actually I think the worst drivers are now driving subarus. Yes there is the young kid in the WRX, but mostly it is people driving outbacks, they seem to be the most agressive.

Insofar as aggressive Lexus drivers go, I'd say the worst offenders here have to be the RX330/RX350 drivers - mostly women yapping on their cell phones and cutting people off. I don't care if they're using a handsfree or what - they're more in tuned with the phone conversation than they are at the driving. I've seen quite a few IS-Fs driving around here in HNL but they've all pretty much been driving the speed limit insofar as I can tell. But then again they all have temporary paper license plates - so they must not have reached the break-in period yet. lol.

2GS around here......those people in such a ruch to get somewhere. Otherwise I do agree with mmarshall about the mustangs, they are fairly aggressive, ie one tailing me yesterday after work, and another who tried to race me before. But I still say the civics and teggies and all those little ricer cars are the most obnoxious, with their rattlecan exhausts and horrible driving etiquite, ie 40mph on highway rolls

The handling is good enough to encourage some spirited driving on occasion.
I agree, I have seen 3rd Gen GS's doing 100+ on are poor american freeways...lol

I never see IS's driving has crazy though...kinda weird but good
