I'll just start by saying that I'm 39yo... first of all, down here in South FL I don't see many LS'es anyways, and the ones that I do see appears to be driven by... let's just say... high milage people nothing wrong with that of course, but over the years that I drooled over the LS I noticed it's a choice for people with 1M+ in their 401k plans :P basically, I've never seen anyone that looked to be under 60yo to be driving one...

so, any guys/gals under 40 here? 35? 30 (gasp!)?

Well, I'm 50 years old now, But, I've always owned larger 4 door sedans. Before I turned 30 years old I wanted a Cadillac. So, in 1999, I purchased a new Sedan Deville D'Elegance. It was beautiful! White Diamond paint with red leather interior. Honestly, that car was wonderful! Personally, I feel that it was a bit better (in some aspects) than the LS460. Unfortunately, when I approached the 40k mark in mileage, it started using several quarts of oil every thousand miles. I hated to part with it. But, at that time I didn't know what else to do. I traded it for a 2002 Acura RL. Another great car, but in a different way. That car didn't give me one bit of trouble, as I recall! Then traded that for a 2006 Lincoln. Then a 2009 Volvo S80 (Which I still have). Then on to the LS 460 AWD. As of today, my 2011 LS has just 49,500 miles.

I’m 38 but we are definitely in the minority. Average driver age is well into the 60s.

Early 60's here, although people tell me all the time that I could pass for 75 . Very few Ls's in my neck of the woods, so that makes me the youngest and oldest...

I'm 63 now, but was 57 when we bought our LS400.

39 here. I see may be one LS every other day on my daily 35 miles commute in DFW metro (75 and 635 freeway). When I do see one, it is always a wise person driving the LS. Haven't seen someone who looks younger than I am that is driving this remarkable car yet.

When I was picking up my car from the service the other day, the valet guys were surprised to learn that this beautiful car belongs to me.

I was 37 when I got my first LS600HL and just got a heck of a deal on a 2011 LS460L for my 18yo daughter . Hey, it was cheaper than a new Civic and a heck of a lot more comfortable . It also satisfies the “grandparent” feelings of her being in a safe, meaning large car.

There's another thread that covers this topic, but I'm 54.

I am 55 but feel like a kid with a big grin on my face while driving my Lexicorn

My first LS (2012 SWB AWD) was my 50th birthday gift!

I can relate to your story; when I graduated college in 2003 my father gifted me my first (second actually, but those 3 weeks with a beat up 1983 Jetta that died 3 week later don't count ) car... 1993 Acura Legend. it was down hill from there for me and my love of large luxury sedans... I drove the Legend for several years, then did my brother, and after him did my youngest brother... all 3 of us have fond memories of the Legend (mostly from the back seat wink wink), baby brother finally donated it at 250K miles... and it was still running smooth!

as faith would have it I drove small 2 or 4 door cars (GTI, Civic, Corolla) for the next 15 years while my wife drove SUVs, until 4 weeks ago the LS460 was/is my early 40th bday present

And yes, it certainly looks like "younger" guys are in the minority of LS owners... I too get strange looks getting in and out of it... like "hey did this spoiled 'kid' just borrow his dad's car" LOL I gotta add, with my hair done and the clothes I wear, I hardly pass for a 30yo, and more often than not I get carded for smokes!

72 living in Plano Tx. I see a lot of LS's every day.. I have a 2014 AWD L. Always been a large car fan.
First car while in college was a Buick. First after college was an Olds Delta 88 coupe. Next was a 1973 T Bird, mid 80s Cadillac, my last US brand car. Got a 1990 LS400 followed by 6 Infiniti Q45's. Infiniti M45T 2 Qx56;s and now my LS and still have my second Qx.

My favorite car of all the current LS. It has been flawless for 5 years. Just comfy, smooth, reliable and comfortable to drive.

Id guess the avg age must be around 60 here. Range Rovers are the rage here along with Testla's . Many exotics and new MB's
