Default xB's should be <35yearsold

i think these cars shouldn't be available to anybody over the age of 35, unless they are really cool.

some middle aged woman got an xB in my town..... she's the type of person who drives a honda element............................................... god i wish part of financing was "not being in metapause or senile" cause it just ruins the demographic of the car... misrepresenting.

oh well, just what i think, kinda stupid, but come on, the woman was born before WWII......

That's like saying only old people should drive caddy's and only militay or ex milirary should driver hummers. .. in a perfect world, sure ... but cars appeal to lots of different people ... look at the civic, designed for a middle aged commuter.. but how many tricked out civics do you see now.. they're all over the place ...

btw .. I'm 23

My wife and I are both 32, and we're definitely not too old for a ride like this. Believe me, if you make it to 35, it won't be so "old" then. BTW, we think we're still pretty cool.

to keep the scion to a young comunnity only would be wrong, I think its cool that older people have to ask me about the car that I drive. also from a business standpoint , I don't care if your 80 , get the car and then get an axle back from me! Yet another shameless plug for the PrecisionMuffler.com Axle back! :D

No, he's right, you're old and uncool

I'm >30, but I married a 20 something.. keeps you young!

Seriously though, to the kids out there.. you have no idea how young 30 is until you're there.

There's the problem with 30+ It's hard to get anything to rise no matter the attitude.. but they make meds for that problem now.

Just want to let you all know I just turned 40 and I still skateboard and mountain bike and make kids a lot younger than me play catch up. It's not the age. it's the way you look at life. Grow up ? NEVER !! Waiting for my Hot Lava any day now. Peace to all.

Can a certain age group really support in sales a whole line of cars? I think it is part marketing and hype. The toyota people are trying to get into the minds of 25 and minus age group. Really, does this car make you more young and hip?

Well said. Trying to define old is not an easy task. 32 is not old 50 is not old... 60 and up is old , but if they like the xB, by all means I want them to get one . If anyone likes the xB they are cool, young or old..

So let me get this right. You're depressed now that you realize that Toyota marketing has manipulated you into thinking that xB is the ultimate KeW1 D0odz car when it's really the ultimate mommymobile?

So sorry. welcome to real life.

BTW,

1. If you're going to dis someone by assuming that they have a medical condition, it would help if you knew how to spell it.

2. Someone who was "born before WWII" would be at least 66 years old, a mite beyond "middle age" by most measures, particularly those used by Gen-Y D0odz.

3. Putting restrictions into the financing agreement wouldn't affect most older folks. They don't have to finance.

4. You will be old sooner than you expect, providing you survive puberty.
