Scion's intentions however may not end up being the true result. The FRS and tC do generally have a lower age demographic however its possible the FRS will have a older demographic than the tC does. The FRS has a bit more of an old school sense about it. Its not concerned about power but rather the fundamentals of driving which is why some people long for a car from the past as a good deal of newer cars are losing this as they're starting to become mobile iPads. The FRS is one of those cars that sort of brings those qualities to the 21st century. Its one of those cars that doesn't necessarily disagree about the notion that "things aren't made like they used to". So I can totally understand why someone middle aged or even someone elderly might also like it. The car itself wasn't intended to target an age demographic, rather it was targeting car enthusiasts and that doesn't have any age restrictions. Giving the 86 to Scion was more of Toyota's way of ensuring Scion didn't disappear tomorrow because it provides a 20,000 boost in sales that Scion otherwise would've have had.
The other Scions however...they tend to attract older people. The pure pricing policy is very much loved by old people, the original xB in particular was more of a hit with older people than their intended demographic. The iQ is another car I only see(and have seen) an elderly driver liking it. The xD is discontinued so its no longer relevant.
