5 Things Your Lexus Says About You

1. You're as Reliable as an Old Pair of Jeans

Whereas BMW drivers are seen as, well, bad drivers who don't use turn signals and Mercedes drivers are all envisioned to be beyond retirement age, Lexus has a reputation for reliability. And while not all of these stereotypes are true 100% of the time, Lexus has the awards to back theirs up, topping all other brands in Consumer Report's reliability rankings three years straight. Lexus has also ranked first in J.D. Power's vehicle dependability rankings for five consecutive years.

2. You're Probably Really Smart

Geoffrey Miller, a psychologist and author of the book "Spent: Sex, Evolution, and the Secrets of Consumerism," has a variety of thoughts on what cars say about their owners. Among them is the opinion that drivers of Lexus vehicles tend to have high IQ's. Miller believes that people who buy Lexus do so because of their strong reputation, sustained value, and complex controls. Because who wants to buy a car that's going to fall apart and be worthless once it's paid off?

3. You're Alluring, but Not in an Obnoxious Way

If you drive a Hummer or a yellow Corvette, you're probably an attention seeker who craves the spotlight. Driving a Lexus, on the other hand, protrudes a quiet confidence that people find alluring. After all, they're quiet and reliable, but capable of performing admirably when called upon. Those are the kind of traits you want in not only a person, but a car as well.

4. You Might Just be Wealthy

According to a study completed by Experian Automotive, one of the top ten vehicles owned by households with over $250,000 a year in income is the Lexus RX 350. Not surprisingly, most wealthy folks don't own million dollar cars or flashy rides. That's how you get wealthy in the first place, right?

5. You Might be CEO Material

The Lexus brand is typically associated with not only reliability, but also comfort and attention to detail. Those, along with perceived humbleness, efficiency, and functionality are all defining traits of our world's top business leaders. Lexus vehicles and their owners are like that friend that isn't over the top of flamboyant, but you can rely on them whenever you need them the most. And those are the types of qualities that spawn successful leaders.
