Maybe I'm weird, but I'm well past college age (unless you count the fact my kids are in college) and I love this car. I could go out and buy pretty much anything I want (my second choice is a Camaro ZL1), but the FR-S fits my needs perfectly. It will be a fun car to drive, it get's decent gas mileage, it will be relatively unique, I can work on it myself and just looking at a photo of it puts a huge smile on my face.

There is a huge market for a traditional sports car that doesn't break the bank, even outside the Scion target market. And, at least in my circles, us older guys could care less about who's badge is on our car, we got nobody we need to impress.
