47 going 48 this coming July. My LS is my 3rd LEXUS after 2 es 350. Just got tired of the lack of power of the car when passing other cars in the road with 4 adults in the car. I don't think I could get used to a lesser quality car now. Loving the LS experience.

31 and been driving a lexus since I was 20. Previously had 3 ES300's and still driving a es330 as a back up car. Finally picked up an LS as I've always wanted one and got the exact combination I wanted.

I'm 26, I love this LS460 because the hydraulic suspension is so dang smooth and the cabin is quiet. I thought about getting something sporty and loud, but the comfort is what I wanted (big weekly commutes). I feel safe and it looks great, my coworkers think its new

I'm 31 and this is my second 4th GEN LS. I was 27 at the time of the first LS460 that I owned. This is Lexus' flagship model $$$, a majority people that own this car are from the older crowd. My bet would be because you guys are richer lol. Probably own a couple houses, so you don't have to pay rent. Not spending your money on shoes, clubs and air suspension lmao

I'm 26 years old and I will finally be getting my LS Wednesday. Been looking for one for months now and once I found it I have been waiting patiently. I have worked for Toyota for 5 years now, I knew Lexus was the way to go once I started working around them.

39 in july.

I think the main distinction which has been stated earlier would be; financial means

"Younger" - whatever that means, usually comes with newly started career or the initial upward slope of potential income graph. Hence, "flagships" tend not be considered most of the time. However, there are always those that max their credit to the limit or born wealthy, etc. Then, the selection of car choices widens.

IMHO,

"LS are for people that value reliability and comfort", with the means to own, one would be more like it.

35. Owned mine for about 3 years now. I've always wanted one since I saw the executive rear seat back in 07. Was fortunate to find an 08 ls460l with a pristine interior with the exec package. Paint isn't the greatest but it was an 8 year old car at the time so no complaints. Every time I think I want something new I look at todays prices for vehicles and get sticker shock.

I feel like a baby compared to everyone else since I got my LS a few months after turning 21.

This is excellent testimony of why we choose to own these cars

Thanks RF, selling parts to these cars really helped me figure out that Lexus was the real deal! Any car has issues but there is just something about the way Toyota/Lexus was able to captivate me with the styling of these vehicle...except the Avalon from 2005-2012 I wouldn't be caught dead in one! those things were horrendous!

Interesting.....when you say, horrendous", are you speaking about the reliability, or styling/performance?.
