Let's face it, there are only so many topics you can discuss about a car that isn't on sale yet that we don't really know much about. The odds are if you think of something you want to make a new thread about, it's already been made.

I see you're from Georgia. According to IndexMundi, the average life expectancy for Georgian is 73 years and 80 years for males and females respectively (1). Now if we're going to be myopic enough to believe everyone over 30 deserves to be in the same age bracket then I'm sure we're oblivious enough to believe that the life expectancy for people is the same regardless of state/country. This means that you effectively put up to 62.5% of the possible ages into the same category. That seems like your poll is fairly biased and useless in determining demographics.

Now this is especially interesting when we consider that Autocar claims during an interview Tetsuya Tada said the target age range for this car is in the 40's (2).

Ah but what do I know? I'm probably just some old man that became upset upon realizing that members on this forum genuinely believe people over 30 are a very weak minority on this site. Maybe I should stop saying phrases like negative nancy.

search Scion's target market.
This is why the poll is under 30. I'm sure the Subaru will be targeted towards an older demographic.
I wanted to keep it simple and to be honest I did this thread mostly to find out how many teenagers will be purchasing this car simply because it's them who most likely crash these cars and drive the insurance price up significantly.

The Scion TC is one of THE MOST expensive cars to insure for it's price range. It was more expensive than my 370Z and my 06 wrx by a lot!
this is why I didn't get one.

The more mature crowd is more responsible and don't drive insurance costs up.

Yes, because there will be younger people joining and older people leaving/dying. We are at equilibrium in the open system.

a poll is more useful.
Well that's unfortunate... a repost is a repost. Also ninja editing is ninja editing.

Wrong forum.
