Default Does the 2IS appeal more to men, to women, or equally to both?

Poll Question: What is your gender, and do you think the IS350/IS250 appeals more to men, to women, or equally to both? To me, the car itself doesn't come across as definitively masculine nor feminine. However, I get more compliments and questions about the car from more guys than gals. As I noted from other posts though, many CL members have undoubtedly spotted a number of women behind the wheel of the 2IS. Do you think over time, there will be predominantly more men or women drivers of the 2IS?

Ummmm. Wouldnt it be better to first ask how to do a poll? It would make things much easier and nicer.

No problem, thanks for being so quick to see my post. I was still in the middle of typing up the poll options section, but in the meantime, the post itself appears before the actual "poll box" does. I think it's the way the system works. Thanks for your patience.

Not yet seen a woman driving a 2IS yet, and rarely see a woman drive a IS300 around here.

well hmm lets see...the IS250/350 is beautiful. Both genders cannot denounce that, thus it appeals to both. This whole poll thing was a little useless, it was predictable.

There generally aren't very many female forum users, either. I've seen a few women driving 250's, but I haven't seen a 350 on the road yet.

Most women cant afford one, so I am going to say its the guys who buy it for them.

I know of 3 girls which all are Asian drive the 2IS. They're around mid 20+. A lot of women own them here in DFW. 80% people I've seen driving 2IS are women.

Leuxs already knows the answer. Look at the pic, 75% to men.

75% males, but only 50% under 40! That surprises me. And 68% were first time Lexus buyers. That means at least 18% of buyers are over 40 and buying the 2IS as their first Lexus.

I have only seen one other IS on the road, driven by a male. In general, my male friends are most enthusiastic about the car, but the girls like it too...

i think it appeals to both men and women because it has the power than most men like and it has the elegance the a woman would look for. thats just my opinion
