You know you own a Lexus when you fall to sleep behind the wheel because the driving experience is so unremarkable, and devoid of any feeling whatsoever.
You know you own a Lexus when everyone thinks you spent a LOT more on the car than you really did.
You know you own a Lexus when you take the car in for mechanical repairs, and the dealership refuses to fix anything but squeeks and rattles.

And what's sad is that the LS430 is quicker than the outgoing S500. The LX470 is one of the most capable off road vehicles, and the new LS460's and 600's are damn fast too.
Alas, riding on a cloud...

You know you own a Lexus when you actually drive the car you paid for and not a loaner for 40% of ownership.
You know you drive a Lexus when people continue to bash and moan and try to throw stones at the brand because theiy hate that it is successful.

You know you own a lexus when you havent seen the repair shop in ages.
or when a BMW owner (my sister, my boss, and co-worker) says, "my car doesnt have that"..."whoa your car has that?"..."your seats are SOOO comfortable, very nice lumbar support"..."that is fast"
people hate on lexus cause they're established..a breath of fresh air in the autmotive industry. Change is hard for a lot of people...it's ok change is good people.

You know you own a Lexus when you are happy with your car(s) and you have to put up with people complaining and moaning about every single thing.

when half the people on the CL, LO, my.IS forums approve to the comment above.
when you've owned a mercedes and/or bmw, infiniti, Acura, Audi, etc.. and are extremely happy with your Lexus. even though it isn't the ultimate driving machine, represented by an artists paintbrush, made by the oldest car manufacturer in the world, or has a rally racing heritage.
When you test drove 6 different vehicles before test driving the IS and said to yourself..."this is definitely the one."
When you're okay with that fact that your car doesnt have super german nordschleiffe handling, when pretty damn good Lexus handling is plenty good for your taste...cause to be honest, how often do city folk race through mountains like in those cheesy car commercials anyway?
When you can't stop looking at you car...cause it's so damn sexxy, from the front to the back.
When you cuss out birds for pooing on your crystal white 350.
when you can keep going on and on with this post.

The more I think about it, I don't believe it's possible to be unbiased, without being completely indifferent about things. Which is the exact opposite of being an enthusiast. It's like having kids, and being asked which child you like the best. We claim to like them all equally, but in the end there's always going to be one child that you favor because of their personality traits.

I have to say, I'm a little bit disappointed with the amount of pretentiousness I'm seeing in this thread. Sure, they're great cars, but by no means, IMHO, do they give you the right to:
- Think you're better than anyone else
- Be unnecessarily harsh to anyone making (what seems to me to be) tongue-in-cheek "negative" comments
Nothing wrong with a little pride in your purchase, but it's disappointing to see it being taken as far as it is.
