How old are you?
I'm also a member of the Dutch Lexus forum (I'm a moderator on that forum, sorry), most members there say "the LS is for old men"
Are they right? How old are you? I'm 50.

Sorry, I strongly disagree. Im late 30's and though I enjoy a "fun" car, nothing is more enjoyable or relaxing than a well-made, quiet, smooth vehicle with a very refined drivetrain. I think the car is stellar. Obviously not for everyone, but I actually think the LS would make a believer out of people (including a younger demographic) who "think" they'd have no interest in driving an LS. This car really needs to be driven in order to fully appreciate it.

I'm late 30s and my friends do call it a grandpa car but that's what I wanted. I wanted to able to just relax and cruise in comfort so that's why I got, plus I always wanted one.

I'll be 55 in April. Certainly the LS appeals to an older crowd IN GENERAL, but theres 70 year olds driving Corvettes and 20 year olds driving LS's, so.....
What I like about my LS is the crazy good stereo (ML), gadgetry and power the V8 LS provides - things which most "old people" don't care about.

I can understand the perception, especially in the 1990s. But quality never goes out of style. I'm 38 now but I've wanted an LS back when I was 25...I just couldn't afford one back then. Plus, the later gen LS enfused some sportiness and can definitely appeal to a younger demographic.

67 mostly because I can. When we go on long trips which we do a lot I want to arrive feeling like I just had the time of my life and the LS provides that type of feeling.

63 I bought my 91 LS400 in 2000 when I was about 46. No need to change it out for 16 years because I was in love. I drove stodgy rear wheel drive Volvos for 20 years before that also. Finally I gave in because I was too lazy to look for the A/C leak.
