bluehairs
I'm 50 and a member of AARP and when I first got interested in the xB my wife said are you crazy! She thought it was the ugliest thing on wheels(actually she still does), but i love it and as you can see from my profile i've modded it and i'm not done by a long shot. I see many young people who haven't done anything to their box. I don't really care, but i'm happy I bought mine and it has caused me to meet alot of great people because of it.

Fine, I'll be the first and you can either make me look like a comlete idiot for asking a question or you can simply answer the question. WHAT THE F@CK ARE BAGS, DUMPS AND "LAKERS"? I disagree with the original author of this post and yes I was born long after you but I have no clue what you are talking about. In our Generation Bags= Air Bags, Dumps= The Reason We Go To The Can(Toilet), And "Lakers" = An NBA(National Basketball Team) Sorry for ignorance~

I wave or flash my lights but most Senior citizens don't respond..to them it's just cheap transportation and not the cool vehicle I think it is. I run into other owners sometimes and want to talk xB but if they are young I get the snub..thats ok..I was the same way..but once in a while the age thing doesn't matter and we bond a bit.

What about the people that buy it because of the fuel economy and secondly because of style?
Before I bought this car, I was not even remotely into cars; couldn't care less. I bought it for it's fuel economy and because I liked the style. I never expected to get so into it, but I did. I'm crapping my pants waiting for a chance to wash my xB today and get my mod's installed.
Some people just require a little time.

Heh. You guys thought you were buying something hip, when it really appeals to the LeSabre crowd...
Just kidding...
The xB is kinda like a country music crossover hit, having a broader appeal than originally anticipated...
And it's a great car for seniors, just because of the egress...
