48 and my first Lexus. Tried 5 series, A5, Infiniti M and none could match the mix of luxury and sport if the GS.

Had a 99 Infiniti I30 before this.

wow i'm shocked there are so many young guys in these cars!

I'm 27 and I bought it because I was still in my first car ever (F150, 2001) and it was time for something smaller and classier and more fun.

good to see I'm not young for this car

Im 28, but will be 29 when my GS350 F-Sport Starfire Pearl/Cabernet comes in. I was looking at an ES originally but everyone I say look at them was retirement age at the dealership. Glad I made the right choice.

My dealership leased 18 GS F-Sports this past weekend. $3600 down and $499/month for 27 months. I know a lot of hard working 19 year olds that could have afforded that.

I went in to have my wife drive one last night and they were sold out. Checked the local So Cal dealers and no one had a single one left.

Wow this is surprising to hear. I was in the market late Nov/early Dec and there were a good number of F sports on most SoCal lots. Lexus did well in the December to Remember push

Man, I admire you. My parents bought my first car for me at 19... a used '73 Opel Manta that had been in a wreck and did 0-60 in like 20 seconds. I worked hard and quickly traded it for a new Honda Accord. That was my idea of "luxury" at the time. From there it went to 240SX, 280ZX and RX-7, so at least I worked my way up.

It's great to see young guys driving these cars. Takes away the Lexus "old people" stigma. Well done!
