If you are buying a BRZ how old are you?

Hi Guys,

just curious to see what age group is planning on buying the car. my guess is a younger crowd but you never know. i am hoping this won't become a "boy racer"

Are you really curious what demographic this car is targeting? 22-35 males.

Anyone buying a Buick, post up your Medicare info.

ha!
well i am getting the car either way... however i am curious. i have been waiting for a affordable car that i can drive on track that can make me smile again. that doesn't necessarily mean its the fastest... my guess is younger folks might want it more for the looks, some for the history, but i want it for the fun-factor.

I voted (24) but I'll probably wait until next year when they are more readily available.

I'm turning 26 soon, and it's either Grad school or work this fall. I work and double major 2nd and third degree now but I do have enough to pay monthly for at least a car that's around 26K. So if they don't price the premium too high I can just go and get it, if not I'll go get an FRS but hang here XD
