How come most people I see driving Scions are old?
Its weird that Scion, a brand aimed at the younger crowd, is being driven by much older people. From my experience on the road every day, I see that older people drive Scions more than younger people. Whats up with that?

Everyone buys every kind of car these days. Heck, half the Porsche 911s I see are driven by young chicks (so wrong!) who have no appreciation whatsoever of what they are driving.
The world has gone to hell in a handbasket.

I've heard the xB is actually pretty good for the elderly b/c of how high the seats sit. They don't have to get up to get out of the vehicle. Kind of just swing their legs over and step out. Same with getting in. Just kind of sitting on a chair.

All commercials and ad campaigns aside, Scion's are a great deal for the money; no matter how old you are.
EDIT: Oh yeah, one more thing. The audience Scion's commercials are meant to appeal to the most can't even drive legally yet.
