Now that Lexus has more mass appeal, the driving manners of some are

Today, while on surface street, a 30 something gal in a silver 3-GS weaved her way to the far right lane to be first. Then she drives across 3 lanes to make it to the first spot in the left lane turn pocket. In this process, she cuts off three lanes of traffic to make this lame move. She had to wait for the light to change anyhow so the irrational driving behavior left me

Most the time, Lexus drivers have been pretty courteous but now, I think it is developing to be like the ricer mannerisms. Shameful and these types develop a negative persona of Lexus owners/drivers. <sigh>

 

I haven't seen any Lexus drivers like that, thank you very much. Usually Lexus drivers are mellow and courteous, except for the ones driving IS-F's. They tend to drive a little faster then the average

 

The more cars Lexus sell, the more different kind of owners would appear. You simply can't expect all owners of any brand of vehicle to be courteous all the time. Also, 3 GS is a mid-size sport sedan, so being driven with a little bit of rush doesn't surprise me.

 

yea just ask Valgs350 he knows all about that.

haha i juss had to

 

I've seen quite a few people drive very fast with GS460s and GS350s.

I also tend to drive way faster than I should with my slow *** GS300
The handling is good enough to encourage some spirited driving on occasion.

 

I've also noticed that the demographic for Lexus has changed somewhat. Especially becuse those older reliable LSes go for very cheap (less than 15K), sometimes near 5-6K, and so I've been seeing more and more first generation LS400s on ridiculous 22" wheels and things like that..

 

I have noticed that women driving any Lexus models are aggressive drivers. I remember 2 accounts of a LS430 and GS300 tail gating my *** like crazy. Both had women drivers.

 

It just seems like people in general are as courteous as they used to be. Don't know why that is but it must be stopped!

 

I just posted a little time ago about a nutty GS driver when it was RAINING.

Younger people are buying lexuses. It's bound to happen.

 

oh reeeeaaaaallly??

 

I haven't noticed much from 3GS drivers. Most of them are women who take their time. On the other hand, there are quite a few 2IS owners who seems to think they own the road, thinking everyone must make room for them. Sad to say but a lot of these lexus owners are starting to drive like those who own riced out hondas. Actually, most honda owners either step up to Acura, Lexus, or Infiniti.

 

she musta been a former bmw leasee.

 

I almost got hit by an IS-F the other day in a meijer parking lot by some idiot driver thinking it was an auto-x course blasting through a stop sign and peeling out...

 

Not even a drop in the bucket compared to the a lot of morons who drive V8-powered Mustangs.....GTs, SVTs, Cobras, etc...

That's not to insult anyone on CL who drives a Mustang, or the Mustang drivers who ARE careful (yes, there are some), but far too many of them lack even rudimentary common sense. More young people are probably killed in Musdtangs than probably any other car.

On the thread topic...........Lexus drivers.........I haven't seen very many dumb ones. As a group (and again, not to insult any specific owners here), BMW drivers tend to be far more aggressive than Lexus drivers.

 

I have seen a few oddball Lexus drivers since I have gotten back to the United States, but I am 99.9% sure it has more to do with the person than the type of vehicle they own.
