When you get older, you tend to think "I want to have fun." At this point in life, you've kinda made your bones, carved out a niche and starting to get to enjoy your hard earned money.

Again, all of the above is an unfair generalization but that's the gist.

One is the single budding professional or employed younger guy (19 to late 20s) that has just enough income to swing one of these but not go for the biggies.

The other was the "empty nester" (Mid 40s to infinity) that no longer requires an all round practical car and has enough disposable income for something more entertaining. The older crowd generally has a second vehicle (their own or a spouse) that can perform the family tasks.

They really were not targeting the guys in between much since they tend to be the ones that have family responsibilities to worry about. That of course does not preclude them since there are still plenty of that group but they were not really the target.

I can see these valid points. Makes sense.

24, Accountant & Technical Data Analyst. Numbers are life.

No kids, girlfriend and I have had our own house since she was 19, she's 22 now. Been together for almost 5 years. Will probably ask her to marry me this year near our 5 year anniversary. In the morning before work, the thing that's usually on my mind is do I want to drive my heavily built Miata, my truck, my FR-S or my FZ-09? It's usually the bike.
