Age (and income) undoubtedly increases as you move up the product line, so 50+ is likely a good number.

+1 on the BMW and Merc comment. Those cars are not meant to be owned, only leased. BMW although its nice, wayy too unreliable, they dont even test their cars before putting them on the market. What bimmer does is that they rush to put every vehicle they make onto the market then worry about the problems later.

I understand that. And that's why I said over 50 is likely a good number. The way demographics as a whole tend to work, you can often glean likelihoods.
Maybe the OP of the comment will post his source. No doubt the information isn't readily search-able - a web search didn't turn anything specific to the GS up for me and in all of the discussion that seems to be here, nobody has posted it yet.
More info though - According to Jim Farley, former GM of Lexus, the average IS buyer is 41 and the average ES350 buyer is 61. A full 40% of Lexus buyers are over 60.
People tend to have greater successes and make more money as they get older. The tech savvy and professionals/high earners here (by definition of being here and being enthusiasts) aren't representative of the spectrum of buyers.

If I didnt wanted AWD, I would have gotten the LS.I understand that. And that's why I said over 50 is likely a good number. The way demographics as a whole tend to work, you can often glean likelihoods.

haha.. ya know, the age is flawed in many ways. If I ever have a kid, I might get the IS for my son/daughter, that's why the PURCHASER might be the father and falls into the age demographic, however, the PRIMARY DRIVER is the young ones in the family, hence we always see them on the road
when I was in college, none of my friends with BMW/MB/Lexus bought their own cars, even if they did, the car will be registered under parents to save on insurance cost.
just a thought...
