My GS is the DD. With Covid i haven't been driving it much, but we've put a ton of miles on the LX for weekend getaways.

In warm weather, its my GS350 or my Yamaha Bolt. In cold weather (below 55 degrees), its just the GS350.

My 2000 Explorer usually handles daily driving activities but I’ve been driving the GS more often lately.

Daily my 2013 Lexus GS 450h current with 111k+ miles. It’s the perfect daily driver.

Bought my GSH to be my DD. Drive 25/30k a year so needed something reliable, long lasting, comfortable and enjoyable. GSH was a pretty clear choice.

2002 BMW e46 coupe - 270k miles and still going strong. Everything but the bullet proof I6 engine and tranny have fallen apart but car is still going like clockwork. The 2013-2015 GS F-Sport variants are the closest thing to these BMW of old. Amazing handling, eats corners for breakfast, lunch and dinner and feels like you are driving on rails.

The GS' were amazing daily drivers to me but have now been replaced with a Corvette which is just way more enjoyable to daily. It is nowhere near as comfortable but just wanted something a little more engaging to get to work in. Definitely up for a possible LC-F if they make a proper competitor to the AMG GT as a replacement. Lexus is still some of the best for dailies and most reliable without a doubt. I leave the GS' for very long road trips where comfort is more of a concern.

That is a true sleeper car with the V6 and AWD.

Definitely the GS. Pre pandemic I was driving just over 20k a year mostly freeway averaging maybe 20 to 23 mpg and now rarely freeway doing about half the miles at about 15 mpg.

When I drive a non-muscle car, the Lexus GS 350 AWD is my daily driver. All my cars are GS's, though.
