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"

delongedoug 02-23-2012 07:12 PM

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.

47 yrs old +/- 20 years

devinclfalcons 02-23-2012 08:31 PM

21 years old. Graduating college in May and starting my job in August...

Hence, time for a new car :thumbsup:

Spaceywilly 02-23-2012 08:36 PM

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

Zaku 02-23-2012 08:37 PM

Dave-ROR 02-23-2012 08:39 PM

Dave-ROR 02-23-2012 08:53 PM

Actually I just realized I'll be 35 in early/mid May.. BRZ = best birthday gift ever? :P

blackmist27 02-23-2012 08:58 PM

wow.. i am surprised how many older guys are buying. thats cool. I'm in the 34 club next month. i am happy to report this car won't be a boy-racer-mobile.

86design 02-23-2012 08:58 PM

28 and getting younger ;) lol

Zaku 02-23-2012 08:58 PM

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

27. BRZ or ATS.

ette 02-23-2012 09:12 PM

21 going on 22 before BRZ arrives. But I don't feel like I should be grouped with 16 year olds in the poll. ahh.

I don't even think they are any 16 year olds that voted or is around to vote, they're usually up one forum. Joking all ove those threads, I'm guessing the 5 that voted above are like... 21 to 24

BMWDavid 02-23-2012 10:13 PM

Probably the oldest one here so far...at 57. Always had neat cars and this BRZ looks super. Can't wait until I get mine in the garage. It will be a nice addition to my '89 3.2 and the GTI.

86'd 02-23-2012 10:18 PM

30 here... This week it's the BRZ, next week who knows...

:D

All of the above.

GMU-BRZ 02-23-2012 10:32 PM

23, BRZ-bound if all goes well.

poormans_LFA 02-23-2012 10:57 PM

27 in 6 mos.

neutron256 02-23-2012 11:16 PM

Wow I'm feeling like an old man at 34. Shouldnt all of you 20 somethings be buying the FRS? LOL. You're flying in the face of all of Subaru's market research.

I will say that based on the results of this informal poll, if Subaru is really shooting for the 47year old as their target market, they've really ****Ed this up. No 50 year old is going to be hot after this car when a bunch of 20 somethings are the primary owners. Unless they price it up way higher than expected, in which case they will have alienated the market that is already available in favor of one they hope to develop.

Booey1979 02-23-2012 11:22 PM

29!

At that age I'd be looking at Corvette GS/Z06 and several other cars that are way more mid-life crises oriented.

Dave-ROR 02-23-2012 11:26 PM

Most of the 40-50 year old buyers don't know what a forum is :P

Hey...I resemble that comment.

I will say that while I have be part of many forums, I can honestly say that I have not been this active and enjoyed one this much in a long time..

poormans_LFA 02-23-2012 11:31 PM

most 47+er's are buying far more expensive and exotic machinery.....since they can afford it.

maxeveland 02-23-2012 11:33 PM
