The age demographic will eventually fall back down to 18-25 as soon as used FRS/BRZ get on the market. Leasing an FRS shouldnt be too expensive for these youngsters. We can stop acting like it's an unobtainable Exotic. Let's face it, this platform is the new Civic, we just have to deal with it.

and THIS is one of the reasons this car will be obnoxiously memorable for years to come. Hell, I would even take a RWD Civic

Come to think of it, maybe this will be the name for this car among enthusiasts "The RWD Civic". And to me, that's not a bad thing at all.

How so?

Last I checked most 18yr olds don't have 26k to dish out on a car, let alone carbon parts. Or maybe I'm just poor.

It's just that out here in certain parts of Socal it is not uncommon to see high school kids getting brand new BMW's, Mustang convertibles, and new trucks after graduation...so 25-30K is in that range

Yes, the FRS and BRZ do have alot of young fans, but very few serious buyers in that age group.

im 32 and a shop owner for 11 years, even though im not into the whole carbon/flat black look going around. Its very strong in all age groups in so cal. so if you can sell your stuff for sub VIS pricing, you should be able to move some product.

just my opinion....

I think you and I might be the youngest, well except on one thread I saw a 15 year old claiming how he was going to get one for his 16th birthday . . . Yeesh. I support younger drivers having this car, just hope a kid that young knows/appreciates this car's heritage and awesome craftsmanship.

I financed 25k and thats not even half of what I make in a year. Maybe Im not your typical 18-25 youngster, though. I'm kind of a douchebag college dropout and I love proving people wrong. :3
